BTCPay, a bitcoin payment tool, tells users to switch off their servers after reports of drained wallets

BTCPay Server, a prominent open-source payment processing tool for Bitcoin, has issued a critical advisory to its user base, urging them to immediately power down their servers. This urgent recommendation follows a series of reports from users who have experienced their wallets being drained. The project's team is actively investigating the incidents, but as of now, no official figures regarding the total losses have been released, nor has a definitive fix been announced. The founder of BTCPay Server indicated that the reported security compromises appear to specifically impact versions of the software older than 2.4.2.
