Third-Party Vendor Breach Hits Polymarket Users’ Wallets

A report discussed on the show, with Wired cited as its source, said a UK-based third-party vendor used by Polymarket was breached, rather than the prediction-market website itself. An estimated 700 users were affected, with about $2.7 million stolen from wallets. Trading on Polymarket’s international platform resumed after being paused for several hours while the company investigated; UK law enforcement was notified. A host noted that the trading halt may have prevented users from closing positions when they wanted to.
