ZEUS said in a post published by Bitcoin News on X that a cybersecurity incident over the past few hours had led it to temporarily take its infrastructure offline. ZEUS said the attack has been mitigated, but services will remain offline until a full security audit is completed and operations are restored. According to ZEUS, no customer funds were lost and none are currently at risk. Customers whose Lightning Service Provider (LSP) channels were closed will receive replacement channels after services are restored. ZEUS noted that, based on the current investigation, the incident seems to be limited to its own infrastructure and there is no evidence that it was caused by a vulnerability in Lightning node software. ZEUS also said it has been using trusted execution environments and the Validating Lightning Signer project to strengthen its infrastructure, describing that project as aimed at mitigating such attacks in its upcoming architecture. ZEUS said it will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses.
