Zeus Wallet takes infrastructure offline after cyberattack, begins full audit

Bitcoin Lightning Network self-custody wallet Zeus Wallet has taken its infrastructure offline after a cybersecurity incident on Wednesday, according to Cointelegraph. The company said it is conducting a full system audit and will restore services once that work is complete. Founder Evan Kaloudis said the attack was contained within hours, with no customer fund losses identified and no evidence that Lightning node software was affected. Zeus said the scope was limited to its own infrastructure. Users whose LSP channels were forced to close during the incident will receive replacement channels after service returns. The company has not disclosed the nature of the attack or provided a timeline for resuming operations. Zeus added that the incident will accelerate its security work around Trusted Execution Environments, or TEE, and the Validating Lightning Signer, or VLS, project.
