TechFlow News, August 06, according to Cointelegraph, the Bitcoin Lightning Network self-custody wallet Zeus Wallet proactively took its infrastructure offline after suffering a cybersecurity attack on Wednesday, is currently conducting a comprehensive system audit, and will resume services upon completion.

Zeus founder Evan Kaloudis stated that the attack was contained within hours, with no customer fund losses found, nor any evidence showing the Lightning node software was affected; the incident scope 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 resume.
