AI-Driven Hacking Attempts Force Boltz to Suspend Bitcoin Swap Services
Boltz, a non-custodial Bitcoin swap service, has suspended operations due to a surge in AI-driven hacking attempts. The company cited multiple well-resourced attack groups as the reason for its decision.
In recent months, Boltz faced numerous exploit attempts that were successfully thwarted each time. However, the attacks accelerated sharply in the past few days, and Boltz concluded it could not responsibly resume operations while under such persistent assault.
No user assets were affected by the suspension, as all swaps on the platform are non-custodial, allowing users to retain direct control of their assets throughout the process. The refund API and customer support will remain available.
