Bug in Ark Protocol's server lets attacker steal $62K in Bitcoin, no customer funds lost

A bug in the Ark Protocol's server boarding flow allowed an attacker to steal 0.75 BTC, worth $62,322, from project funds, though customer funds remained safe. The attacker exploited the system by registering boards with their own signatures and withdrawing funds through virtual transaction outputs (VTXOs) on the Lightning network. The Ark Protocol team quickly identified the breach, fixed the issue, and reported ongoing attack attempts that caused service disruptions. The project, launched in March 2025, aims to enable fast, low-cost off-chain Bitcoin payments with self-custody.

The Ark Protocol's recent Bitcoin theft involved 0.75 BTC, valued at $62,322.
