BTCPay Server Offers 3 BTC Bounty After Exploit

BTCPay Server is dealing with the aftermath of a critical security exploit. The project team believes artificial intelligence might have been used to target the vulnerability. Quick action from security researchers helped limit the damage, and the team is working hard to secure all affected systems.

To help track down the stolen funds and secure the network, community supporters stepped up with a three bitcoin bounty. Craig Raw and the Bitcoin Red Team fund receive credit for reporting the initial issue. The bounty aims to encourage white hat hackers and investigators to recover the missing assets.

Users should update their software immediately to the latest patched version to stay safe. Traders and merchants rely heavily on BTCPay for self hosted payments, so fixing this fast is vital. We will keep an eye on the bounty progress and any updates from the core developers.
