Prediction market platform Polymarket confirmed that hackers stole cryptocurrency funds from users after a third-party vendor was compromised, allowing malicious code to be injected into its website. Blockchain monitoring firm PeckShield reported approximately $3 million in stolen crypto across more than 11 victims. Polymarket says it has contained the incident and is refunding affected users in full. The breach follows a separate controversy this week in which Polymarket was found to have paid creators to post deceptive videos about fake bets.
