BTCPay urges Bitcoin merchants to swap wallets after $1.6 million hack
AI summary
BTCPay Server is urging Bitcoin merchants to replace their wallets after hackers stole an estimated $1.6 million. A November 2 update ties the hot-wallet thefts to a flaw that was patched in August, but warns that updating alone cannot revoke access attackers already gained. Merchants running BTCPay payment setups should rotate wallets and keys, since the losses hit merchant funds and could erode confidence in self-hosted Bitcoin payment tooling.
