They compromised the official Instagram account then phished its followers for their NFTs.

The attacker seized control of the BAYC Instagram account and sent a phishing post that many followers were fooled into clicking on, connecting their crypto wallets to the hacker’s “smart contract” – a mechanism for implementing a crypto transaction. That enabled the attacker to steal the assets held in the wallets, seizing control of four Bored Apes, as well as a host of other NFTs with an estimated total value of $3m.

Of course, because if it’s a legitimate theft, the block chain has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
