Why didn’t Ankr simply change the contract to prevent buying and selling?

Because the contract was already compromised and any changes we made could be undone or altered by the malicious actor.

To take a more secure approach to prevent any further damage that could cover several leakage points we did a one shot replace with the original contract and took preventive measures so it wouldn’t be reverted again.
