Payy stopped network activity and card services on Sept. 24 after its Ethereum bridge was exploited. Onchain records tied two withdrawal batches to the same attacker-linked address, and the company confirmed the attack.

Claim by claim, with its source
✓
Payy halted transactions on Sept. 24 after an exploit of its Ethereum bridge.
✓
Onchain records show two withdrawal batches sent about 1.92 million USDC to the same attacker-linked address.
✓
Payy paused deposits, withdrawals, transfers and card payments after its Ethereum bridge contract was exploited on Sept. 24.
✓
The company has not disclosed customer losses or a restart date.

What it means

Who it affects, what changes and what is still unconfirmed

Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.

Users and cardholders who relied on Payy would notice that deposits, withdrawals, transfers and card payments were all paused on Sept. 24. That means normal network use and card activity were stopped at the same time, with no restart date disclosed yet.

Before this, Payy processed network transactions and card payments; after the pause, those functions were unavailable. What remains unchanged is that the company has not disclosed customer losses, so the effect on individual balances is still not spelled out in the available material.
