$3 Million Reportedly Stolen in Polymarket Hack

Cryptocurrency-based prediction market Polymarket has promised to fully refund users after hackers stole roughly 3 million dollars through a compromised third-party vendor that injected malicious code into the platform's frontend. According to blockchain security firm PeckShield, the attackers made off with around 3 million dollars worth of pUSD, Polymarket's trading currency, from at least 11 victims through a phishing campaign before converting the stolen funds into Ethereum. Polymarket says it has contained the breach and removed the malicious dependency, though the company hasn't disclosed exactly how many users were affected or confirmed the total amount stolen.
