If you have never heard of Telegram trading bots, Maestro stands as a notable name in the crypto-trading space, especially for the messenger's users. Its Router 2 contract acts as a pivotal element for its operations.

In response to the breach, Maestro took swift action. The team released an official statement acknowledging the issue. They assured the community that they had transitioned to a safer, exploit-resistant version of the router.
This implies that trading can recommence without the looming threat of another similar breach. However, the statement also carried a caveat – tokens affiliated with SushiSwap, ShibaSwap and ETH PancakeSwap pools will remain inaccessible for an undefined interim.

Reassuringly, Maestro is committed to ensuring that the affected parties are not left high and dry. Their team is diligently strategizing the most expedient and equitable method to disburse refunds to the aggrieved parties. The statement further instills hope by conveying, "Not a single one of you will be left behind, so you don't need to worry. We'll update the community as soon as we're ready to process the refunds (hopefully within the day)."
