Alex Bosworth: Ongoing Lightning attacks hurt those using the network
Lightning attacks hurt people and businesses

Alex Bosworth, Alex Bosworth of Lightning Labs, said that although the Lightning network has not been broken, recent attacks continue to harm individuals and businesses using it.

Bosworth noted that each shutdown and lost merchant affects the broader community, emphasizing that even the loss of participants who may not be widely liked weakens those who rely on the network.

In earlier commentary, Bosworth observed that BTC hacks may become easier to trace as tracking tools improve. He has also discussed a project that offers practical cold storage guidance for everyday Bitcoin users. These initiatives reflect a continued focus on both the security and usability of Bitcoin infrastructure.
