BTCPay Server has announced a critical security flaw affecting older software versions, which has been exploited to steal 
Bitcoin from users' hot wallets. The vulnerability was discovered after reports emerged of unauthorized wallet access and thefts.
The affected versions include 2.4.1 and earlier, according to BTCPay Server's investigation. The company has urged all operators to immediately shut down their instances to prevent further losses. This incident adds to the growing list of security concerns in the cryptocurrency space.
While The Coin Republic reports that the investigation found no credible theft reports specifically linked to the vulnerability, CoinCodex emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the need for immediate action by server operators. This discrepancy suggests that the full extent of the damage may still be uncertain.
The vulnerability's discovery comes at a time when the broader crypto market remains relatively stable, with Bitcoin's price showing only minor fluctuations over the past 24 hours. Despite the incident, the overall market cap has not seen significant changes, currently standing at $2.68 trillion.
Bitcoin's price is at $37,878, showing a negligible 0.02% decrease in the last 24 hours. However, the 7-day trend shows a more pronounced decline of 2.91%, indicating potential market sensitivity to security incidents. The Fear & Greed Index remains in 'Fear' territory at 37, reflecting ongoing market uncertainty.
