Zeus Wallet Urgently Taken Offline After Cyber Attack, States Customer Funds Safe

According to Cointelegraph, Bitcoin Lightning Network self-custodial wallet Zeus Wallet voluntarily took its infrastructure offline following a cybersecurity attack on Wednesday and is currently conducting a comprehensive audit of the system, with services to be restored upon completion.

Zeus founder Evan Kaloudis stated that the attack was contained within hours, no customer fund losses were found, and there was no evidence that the Lightning node software was affected; the scope of the incident was limited to Zeus's own infrastructure. For users forced to close LSP channels during this incident, Zeus promised to provide replacement channels after services are restored.

The company has not yet disclosed the specific nature of the attack or a timeline for resuming operations. Zeus stated that this incident will further drive its security development on Trusted Execution Environment (TEE) and Validating Lightning Signer (VLS) projects.
