The risk concerns affected Lightning applications and can be reduced by applying the relevant LDK updates. Separately, Bitcoin rose above $84,000, triggering nearly $83 million in short liquidations; that market move does not change the underlying security risk. --- ## Sources 1. https://cryptoslate.com/unpatched-ldk-apps-can-lose-bitcoin-when-a-lightning-peer-lies-after-reconnecting/ 2. https://cryptobriefing.com/bitcoin-tops-84000-short-liquidations/ --- *Content provided by BITERMINAL — https://biterminal.rendrr.app* *Powered by xAI Grok.
