Hack or exploit BTCPay Server

Security advisory: flaw exposing LND credentials exploited before version 2.4.2

The BTCPay Server project published an advisory on 7 August 2026 urging operators to update to version 2.4.2 immediately or take servers offline.

Several merchants publicly confirmed losses. The project has not published a total, and said a full post-mortem would follow.

Hack or exploit FixedFloat

Reported exploit of about $26.1 million in bitcoin and ether

FixedFloat was reported in February 2024 to have lost about $26.1 million in bitcoin and ether in an exploit.

The service resumed operation afterwards. No evidence was found in the sources reviewed that customer swaps in progress were left unpaid as a result.
