It has been discovered that there was a major security vulnerability in the Lightning Network protocol developed for Bitcoin.


The vulnerability in the Lightning Network was discovered by Bitcoin developer Antoine Riard last week. The vulnerability Riard found could jeopardize the flow of funds on the Lightning Network.
Experienced hackers looking to exploit this vulnerability can target elements known as Hash Time Locked Contracts (HTLC) on the Lightning Network. This type of attack can disrupt the normal flow of transactions or delay transactions.
