Polymarket Resumes Trading After Vendor Breach Drains Trader Wallets
Polymarket paused trading on its international platform after a UK-based third-party vendor was hacked, draining funds from user wallets. Blockchain analytics firm Bubblemaps estimated roughly 700 users lost about $2.7 million combined. Polymarket said it has notified UK law enforcement and will refund affected traders, but did not confirm the exact scale of losses; its separate, US-regulated Polymarket US platform was unaffected.
