Hacker exploited a smart contract on the Maiar DEX, stealing wrapped-EGLD and tried to sell & flee to bridge.
Elrond team rushed and halted the API's of the stuff they managed. For example Maiar App, Maiar DEX, Elrond Explorer, Elrond Web Wallet, Ad Astra Bridge.
This probably trapped the Exploiters who tried to scurry away.
Meanwhile the whole time. The Elrond Network Blockchain was still fully functioning. Only APIs under elrond teams management were halted.
