The vulnerability could allow an attacker who could reach the Hub&#39;s management API to gain unauthorized access and send funds.<br/><br/>**Alby Hub v1.19.0 (released Aug 29, 2025) or newer are unaffected.**<br/><br/>As with any incident of this kind, we are deeply sorry — above all for the users affected. To our current knowledge, one user has been impacted and thankfully reported these details. We have poured all our energy and resources of the past years into this project, and an issue like this hits us hard.<br/><br/><br/>**What you should do:**<br/><br/>1.) Check your installed version. If you run an affected version, restrict public access to your Hub&#39;s management interface and update immediately to v1.24.0, the latest release.<br/><br/>2.) If you run an affected version which was accessible from the internet update your unlock password after the update. Contact security@getalby.com, we&#39;re happy to help<br/><br/>3.) If you are not affected by this issue. We still recommend updating to the latest version (v1.24.0) now, as it includes additional security improvements and other enhancements.<br/>We will publish full details at a later date, following responsible disclosure practices.<br/><br/>Additionally we want to thank Bitcoin Team Red, Project Loupe and other researchers who reported several issues, which have been fixed in the latest release.<br/><br/><br/>**Our general security recommendations:**<br/><br/>1.) Always run the latest version. Alby Hub notifies you when updates are available — please don&#39;t ignore these notifications.<br/><br/>2.) Avoid exposing Alby Hub to the public internet. We recommend running it behind a firewall or within a private network. Thanks to NWC (Nostr Wallet Connect), Alby Hub&#39;s core communication protocol, your Hub does not need to be publicly reachable — it works perfectly on private servers or systems like Umbrel.<br/><br/>If you have any questions, please reach out to us.

This is one of my fallback approaches that in my opinion is sustainable.<br/><br/>This is also not a post about KYC or no-KYC, or Apple Pay, or Google Pay, really.<br/><br/>This post is also not about crypto, it's about living on bitcoin in a way that actually has a good user experience.<br/><br/>I have been doing this for a long time with 2fiat card connected to Apple Pay (I have a small PWA for instant 2fiat lightning topups), but after some repeated problems I needed a fallback, and realized Satora enables a nice flow that works with many different debit card providers.<br/><br/>The problem:<br/>- I keep funds in a self-custodial bitcoin wallet<br/>- Most merchants still accept only card or fiat payments<br/>- Most debit cards are not bitcoin-native and do not support the lightning network<br/><br/>Satora fixes this with near-instant atomic lightning<->stablecoin swaps.<br/><br/>I can keep using bitcoin, and topup my debit card just before I pay.<br/><br/>NWC <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/nprofile1qyxhwumn8ghj7mn0wvhxcmmvqyw8wumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnzd96xxmmfdejhytnnda3kjctvqqszm52qe2qdkc4u7dma0klx3532jka2g8geck6fwxncyp90wktq2xs75gs3w" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>NWC</span> (<span class="italic">nprofile…gs3w</span>)</a></span> enables a super-simple interface on my phone that I can open and press one button to top up my debit card from my bitcoin lightning wallet. The swap takes less than 10 seconds, and my debit card balance tops up within a minute.<br/><br/>How It Works<br/>- Setup once: Input your card’s deposit address, network, and currency, then connect your wallet via Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC). This is the only time you are exposed to "crypto". From a UX perspective after that, it's only bitcoin and a USD debit card balance.<br/>- Swap via Satora.io: Tap “Top Up” to trigger a Lightning-funded swap. BTC is converted and sent to your card's deposit address.<br/>- Seamless payment: NWC pays the Lightning invoice automatically through a budgeted connection to your lightning wallet.<br/><br/>Questions for people trying to live on bitcoin<br/>- Do you use a bitcoin/crypto/prepaid card today? Which one?<br/>- How do you top it up now? What is the annoying part?<br/>- Do you keep a balance on it, or top up only when needed?<br/>- What would stop you from testing this with a small amount?<br/><br/>Early Access to the App<br/>- Want to be one of the first to try the app? send an email to hello@getalby.com<br/><br/>Your bitcoin stays in your wallet until you need it.

At the same time Alby Hub had also been installed but the setup wasn’t finished yet. Since the unlock password is created during that setup flow, no password had been set at the time which allowed the attacker to finish the setup and change the Alby Hub configuration.<br/>We’ve submitted a PR to Umbrel to add an extra authentication layer to require the umbrel password to access alby hub. <a href="https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/4028">https://github.com/getumbrel/umbrel-apps/pull/4028</a><br/><br/>It is sad that people from the community attack such projects. Projects that create awesome things for the community and push the adoption of bitcoin. Projects that work for the benefit of all of us and not for their own profit.<br/>We call on the attacker to return the funds! 2025-11-28T15:56:31Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsz520yarkyudj73382uqdnjjv9rru64nreguu2qlnpjgqpw44yvzszypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9nu25xndv 🔴STARTING NOW LIVE!<br/><br/><br/>Join our biweekly hour of quality presentations and discussions around project-running on Bitcoin, Nostr and Lightning &lt;3<br/><br/>Today: #SpacesProtocol #BitBlik<br/><br/>🐝☎️<br/>alby<br/>community<br/>call<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/17caa30a04e0d5e093a83b8931e273f0dd72dd1c8e8f5e8ad155ad5f2bbe792d.png"> <br/><br/><br/>We still don&#39;t know how to relaunch our #ZapStream, so we do it on Youtube today:<br/><br/><a href="https://youtube.com/live/BFU-q8EuFZk?feature=share">https://youtube.com/live/BFU-q8EuFZk?feature=share</a><br/><br/> 2025-11-27T14:56:09Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvquwrm3zrlgtwttt6cz2vjxvm7adfja4ejuwk9ywhh8ga43p2tyqzypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9nursg9zc Want to accept Bitcoin on Shopify? <br/><br/>Here are 3 great options:<br/>1. <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub155m2k8ml8sqn8w4dhh689vdv0t2twa8dgvkpnzfggxf4wfughjsq2cdcvg" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>btcpayserver</span> (<span class="italic">npub155m…dcvg</span>)</a></span><br/>2.

Our rate limiting protects against spamming attacks but requests got through to request password reset emails.<br/><br/>Many of the requests are likely for emails that had been included in some data breach or have been publicly exposed by their owner.<br/>Password request emails also have been requested for lightning addresses which falsely exposed the user&#39;s email address. This had been a feature deployed to help users keep easy access to their accounts. But as many users post their lightning address on profiles like nostr this should not be exposed and a fix has been deployed immediately. Generally there should be no way to display a user&#39;s email address. We have failed here. About 5500 password reset emails had been requested by the attacker.<br/><br/>**We have not seen any abnormal related login activity and accounts are safe. People who got a password reset email can ignore the email.**<br/><br/>As we have seen a general increase in attacks on user accounts trying to brute force logins with some emails from some data leaks we have fully disabled password logins and require all users to login with the one time token. This adds an another layer of security.<br/>Additionally we also offer the option to login with Google.<br/><br/>If you have questions or feedback, please let us know: support.getalby.com 2025-10-21T08:07:47Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqspapzt5qsqy2kuq0jpps456qr9tqn86097ejzmvqcysq7h85xr62gzypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9nujvxxjg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsf72yrlwceshtsf4dcj8y97x0hjcxju9jlkggztpuacml3pqcsgmcpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgtcp6sdl8'>nevent1q…sdl8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Let us know when we can help: support.getalby.com 2025-08-13T19:58:01Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs28ls4kjy7fe96mjdz4zmpl24m5nh7yyf7kkfcev0z33h3y95prtqzypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9nu6n0pyv What better time to make a release than during #bitcoin ATH 😉🚀<br/><br/>Alby Hub v1.18 is now live!<br/><br/>🔩 BOLT-12 offers (yes, you heard it right)<br/>🔁 Integrated Swaps (both ⚡ to ⛓ and ⛓ to ⚡)<br/>⚡ Lightning Addresses for sub wallets<br/>⚖️ Channel Rebalancing (beta)<br/>📱 New (AI) Apps in App Store<br/>…and so much more!<br/><br/>This is a fully packed release so let&#39;s dive in! 🧵 2025-07-18T08:12:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsr3xlakwqf8gd3us45mezed0qk85fxrdycgrp4ruvu2cf9uy9xk4qzypr90hlgjed73xq2jvrjhna4ukdx2yjyqmdslqvjzhh83wj8jd9nugrty6n In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswkn2as37zcjvxdt3f5nq7p0e5095yvk9zahvrvytmmgyvecykrfqppemhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp042rc4z'>nevent1q…rc4z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Just zapped. <br/>Yes, you#ll see the transactions in the main wallet.
