Polymarket 1h halt after vendor compromise; affected users will be 'made whole'

Polymarket's international platform halted trading for nearly an hour Thursday after a third-party software vendor (DebugBear) was compromised, reportedly resulting in approximately $2.65 million in cryptocurrency being siphoned from user wallets. The company pledged to fully reimburse all affected traders and has referred the matter to British law enforcement, while the U.S.-based platform was not impacted by the breach.
