Regretfully, just several hours ago an attacker took advantage of some still unknown exploit in the LSP liquidity leasing flow in publsp and liquiditystr. The tldr is that the attacker managed to get some LSPs, including myself, to lease li

A post mortem on this exploit if you're curious. The attacker paid a hold invoice as expected, but force-closed the channel immediately on first confirmation of the funding transaction, which is very much not expected. That basically broke
