Foresight News reports that Bitcoin Core has issued a statement stating that versions 30.0 & 30.1 of the Bitcoin Core wallet have a wallet migration error. In very rare cases, migrating an old (BDB) wallet may delete all wallet files on the same node. If these wallets are not backed up, it could result in loss of funds.

Bitcoin Core states that only the migration process of old wallets is affected. All other functionalities are unaffected. Users can continue to use Bitcoin Core normally, including using existing wallets and running nodes without wallets.
