BTCPay Tells Merchants to Switch Off Servers Amid Hot Wallet Attack Reports

BTCPay, an open-source Bitcoin payment processor, is telling merchants to shut down their servers following reports of attacks on hot wallets. The attacks targeted versions 2.4.1 and older, just days after the project shipped an emergency fix for a critical flaw. A compromise of merchant hot wallets could mean direct losses for businesses accepting BTC, so operators running unpatched versions should act immediately.
