TechElectrum patches Lightning flaw, but old Bitcoin backups break

Electrum’s latest security update fixes a Lightning backup defect, but some users still need to replace saved backups. Wallets with non-deterministic Lightning keys may lack the information needed to reclaim funds from anchor channels after a remote close. Version 4.8.2 fixes future exports; affected wallets must retain their original data and create fresh backups.
