Cointelegraph
Polymarket confirmed an exploit involving a compromised private key, emphasizing that core infrastructure and user funds remain secure despite over $600,000 in losses.

Summary

Polymarket recently experienced a security exploit targeting a UMA Conditional Tokens Framework (CTF) Adapter contract on the Polygon network. The incident, which blockchain investigators identified as a compromise of a legacy private key used for internal operations, resulted in the theft of over $600,000 in POL tokens. Despite the ongoing drain, Polymarket developers and executives have confirmed that user funds and core market resolution mechanisms remain unaffected. The company has since revoked the permissions associated with the compromised key to mitigate further risk.
