The query refers to an article on Stacker News titled "My project got hacked and user funds were stolen." The article discusses the author's experience with a hack on their BitcoinLink service, which allowed users to send bitcoin via one-time-use reward links redeemable through Lightning. Despite the theoretically sound approach, the author made an implementation mistake that allowed a hacker to access both the encryption secret and the encrypted Nostr Wallet Connect (NWC), leading to the theft of user funds. The author details the hack, how they fixed it, and the lessons learned from the experience, including the importance of code reviews and auditing code for security[1].
