- LNbits Deploys Emergency Fix After Reported Wallet Thefts — this brief
LNbits released an emergency patch for installations running older versions after reports of 
Bitcoin wallet thefts affecting users of the service. The available coverage, from Cointelegraph, does not provide figures for the number of wallets or funds involved and does not detail how the thefts occurred.
The project warned that systems left on outdated releases remained vulnerable, prompting users to apply the patch promptly. Cointelegraph also reported that operators should replace potentially exposed credentials even after completing the upgrade, making credential rotation an additional step in the remediation process.
No other supplied outlet covered the incident, so the reported thefts, affected software versions and patch guidance are attributable to Cointelegraph’s summary. The available reporting does not identify the victims, quantify losses or explain the precise technical cause of the security issue.
Bitcoin was trading at $73,748, down 1.07% over 24 hours and 3.27% over seven days, with a market capitalization of $1.48 trillion. The broader crypto market was broadly lower, with total capitalization at $2.52 trillion and the Fear & Greed index at 29, indicating a Fear reading.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from TLT's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₦102.69M (about $73,873.00), down 1.2% over 24 hours. The naira itself trades about 2.9% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Nigerian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
