if you're worried about the recent lnd vulnerability, don't be. it's not an issue unless you're running something like litd. if you're just running an lnd node, you're fine. still update, but don't sweat about it. #bitcoin #lightning

it's now sounding like it may not have been lnd'd fault and may have been a pwned server instead.
To be honest that sounds more reasonable. We like to joke about LND being buggy, we’ve had nodes unable to boot up, and all that. But a draining channels bug is catastrophic and unprecedented as far as I remember.
for sure. if true, it just shows how easy it is to freak people out and create fud
