ZEUS said it temporarily took its infrastructure offline after a cybersecurity incident in the past few hours, according to a statement relayed by Bitcoin News on X. The attack has been mitigated, but services will remain offline until the company completes a full security audit and resumes operations. ZEUS said no customer funds were lost and none are currently at risk. Customers whose Lightning Service Provider channels were closed will receive replacement channels after service is restored. The investigation so far indicates the incident appears limited to ZEUS's own infrastructure, with no evidence of a Lightning node software vulnerability. ZEUS also noted it has been using a trusted execution environment and the Validating Lightning Signer project to strengthen its infrastructure, with the project aimed at mitigating such attacks in its upcoming architecture. ZEUS said it would provide further updates as the investigation continues.
