ZEUS Takes Infrastructure Offline After Cyber Incident, Says No Customer Funds Lost

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.

Coinkite says firmware boundary flaw slipped past human and AI review for years

Coinkite said a flaw was located at the boundary between two unrelated firmware submodules, rather than in its Bitcoin or cryptographic code, which helped it evade both manual and AI-assisted code review for years. The statement was cited by Bitcoin News in a post on X. After the incident, Coinkite said it tested several frontier AI models, including Kimi K3, Claude Fable, and Codex 5.6. According to the company, none of those models detected the flaw. Coinkite is now urging security-critical projects to conduct dedicated audits of build systems and submodule boundaries. It also warned that AI-assisted development may leave similar blind spots in the Bitcoin ecosystem. The company’s comments focused on where the flaw appeared in the firmware structure and on the limits it observed in both human review and current AI model checks following the incident.
