Swiss Bitcoin Pay shuts down servers after customer data breach

  • Servers were taken offline on September 14, 2026, with no restart date announced
  • Emails, BTC addresses, IBANs, transaction history and password hashes may have been compromised
  • The company promises to return all owed amounts, saying user funds are unaffected
  • The service operates on a non-custodial model via on-chain and Lightning
Why it matters: The leak of IBANs and transaction history opens the door to targeted phishing attacks on the service's customers.
