LNbits disables hosted Bitcoin services amid security update

A merged security change at LNbits has left its hosted Bitcoin services disabled, with no restart timeline provided.

A merged security change at LNbits has left its hosted Bitcoin services disabled, with no restart timeline provided. Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $73,008.00, down 2.2% since this brief published. This is an original TLT brief based on reporting by CryptoSlate, with live market data added, as of Tue, 10 Nov 2026 16:45:03 UTC.

Why it matters

The outage affects access to services hosted through LNbits and remains open-ended without a stated restoration schedule. The mismatch between development activity and the latest stable release also leaves operators without a clearly documented release path.

Key takeaways
  • LNbits disabled its hosted Bitcoin services following a security-related code merge.
  • The change was merged into development on November 9.
  • No restart timeline has been provided.
  • Bitcoin trades at $74,648, up 0.66% over 24 hours.

CryptoSlate reports that LNbits disabled its hosted Bitcoin services following a security-related change merged into the project’s development branch on November 9. The announcement did not provide a timeline for restarting the affected services. The project’s GitHub page still identified a September backup hotfix as the latest stable release, according to CryptoSlate. This creates a distinction between work merged into development and a version shown as stable, although the supplied report does not describe the technical contents of the security change or its relationship to the backup hotfix. CryptoSlate is the only outlet included in the coverage, so there is no independent outlet corroboration of the service shutdown, the November 9 merge, or the release status. The reported issue concerns LNbits-hosted services; the available information does not describe a disruption to the Bitcoin network itself. Market conditions were comparatively subdued. Bitcoin was priced at $74,648, up 0.66% over 24 hours but down 2.62% over seven days, with a $1.5 trillion market capitalization. The total crypto market stood at $2.56 trillion and was broadly flat, while the Fear & Greed Index registered 32, indicating a Fear reading. The next operational markers to watch are a stated restart schedule for LNbits and any GitHub release designation that clarifies which version is considered stable.
