What's one Lightning Network feature or concept you'd like to learn more about?

We needed time to secure the remaining funds and also investigate before announcing to the public.

2024-03-26 15:55:02

Thank you. We are still investigating. So far it appears to come from the hosting provider. Although we can’t conclude without proves.

The hackers got access and swept funds onchain to a strange address. Here’s the txid of one of the transactions:

Funds were swept from onchain to a strange address.

2024-03-26 15:44:03

- reply

We’ve tried figuring out (still trying) how they got in. Our seeds are stored offline. Passwords are secure, nothing on the logs that can help. It appears the hacker got access to the cmd and that can only be a fault from the hosting provider.

Here is another one:

We have and are still trying to figure it out. It appears to come from the hosting provider.

We are building for freedom in Africa, yet bad actors are trying to ruin us. Our African nodes have been hacked. While our customers' funds were not affected, the losses we incurred are so severe we've had to temporarily close our African nodes. This is so sad, we are so sorry 😢
