Summary

Maestro is a Telegram-based crypto trading bot developed by Gearlay Technologies Inc. (Canada) that enables sniping, copy-trading, and wallet management across 14 blockchains. On October 24, 2023, a critical access-control vulnerability in its MaestroRouter2 smart contract was exploited, draining approximately 280 ETH (~$500,000) from 106 user accounts; the team subsequently refunded all affected users with 610 ETH (~$1.1 million) sourced from its own revenue. The platform operates a partial-custody model in which user private keys are encrypted and stored on Maestro servers, representing a persistent systemic risk.
