Source published: November 9, 2026, at 17:30 (UTC+8). This account reflects the updates included in that report, not a confirmation of current service status.
LNbits, the open-source Bitcoin Lightning wallet and account system, warned users to stop their LNbits servers after a wave of attacks. A subsequent update said it had disabled all instances on its hosted SaaS platform, my.lnbits.com, as a security precaution and expected all services to resume within 24 hours.
Initial warning covered all LNbits users
According to PANews’ roundup, LNbits initially urged all users to stop their servers immediately while the team prepared multiple security patches. The team advised caution pending those patches and said further updates would follow as soon as possible.
Hosted instances were taken offline
In the later statement, LNbits said it had disabled every instance on my.lnbits.com for security reasons. Its stated 24-hour recovery window was a forward-looking estimate at the time of the report—not evidence that service had already been restored.
The two notices had different scopes: the initial shutdown warning addressed all LNbits users, while the later update specifically confirmed the suspension of instances on its hosted platform. The supplied report did not describe the attack method, quantify any losses or confirm that the security patches had been deployed.
