BTCPay Urges Server Rebuild After $1.63 Million Theft Estimate

BTCPay Server urged anyone who had run version 2.4.1 or earlier, even if they later updated, to move remaining hot-wallet funds into a new wallet and rebuild on a fresh server. An on-chain estimate valued incident-linked transfers at $1.63 million. The estimate counted 682 sweeps, or transactions, including 18.38 Bitcoin (BTC) and 3,405 Litecoin (LTC). It valued the transfers at $1,628,450 using hourly prices from the morning of Nov. 2. The Bitcoin count ran through 12:42 a.m. ET (05:42 UTC), while the Litecoin count ran through 1 a.m. ET (06:00 UTC).
