I hope this case will be an important lesson.
Firstly for developers, to be more cateful and test better all releases. I notice lately that many apps are doing rushed releases sometimes even skipping an intense beta testing in secured enviornments.
Also other users must learn the lesson from your terrible case. As I know you enough, being a good tech guy with high level of security knowledge, even that, with all the secure measures you took, the bug in the software is something you couldn't know and be ready for it.
I hope all thosr noobs trying to run LN public nodes will reconsider it if they do not have at least your level of tech knowledge.
Yes exactly. People keep insisting in "you've put 4BTC in a hot wallet?". Yes I did because I know and took all the security measures and precautions. The proof is that for almost 2 years my LN nodes were perfectly safe and never hacked.
The focus here is that a bug in LNbank/BTCPay allowed hackers to bypass all security!!! This is the point!!! :(

If this is your takeaway from this, that software shouldn't be infallible and that it's ok to put large amounts of funds into hot wallets if you believe the software is secure, then you're also taking away the wrong lessons in addition to a painful loss
