What to do
- Shut down any BTCPay Server instance using ./btcpay-down.sh and keep it offline until the project issues further guidance.
- Check whether the installation runs a version older than 2.4.2, as early reports link the attacks to such versions.
- Do not treat updating alone as resolving an active compromise while the investigation is ongoing.
- Follow official BTCPay Server channels to tell confirmed developer instructions apart from community reports.
