Zeus Wallet took its infrastructure offline on August 5, 2026, after containing a cybersecurity incident that closed some customers’ Lightning Service Provider channels.
Zeus infrastructure appears to be the limit of the breach, based on the company’s investigation so far.
Customers whose Lightning Service Provider channels closed during the attack will receive replacement channels once service returns.
Zeus Wallet, a self-custodial Bitcoin Lightning Network wallet, pulled its infrastructure offline after mitigating an attack and has kept services down while it audits every system.
Many of them still route payments through Olympus, the Lightning Service Provider Zeus operates, which is centralized infrastructure sitting outside the Lightning protocol.
