According to Polymarket, a third-party vendor was compromised, and malicious scripts were injected into the frontend for some users. Polymarket confirmed the issue and removed the affected dependencies, resolving the problem.

Polymarket has not disclosed details, but experts are estimating the amount of damage based on the movement of money.

According to blockchain analytics firm PeckShield, there is evidence that approximately $3 million worth of Polymarket USD (tokens) were stolen from Polymarket and exchanged for Ethereum (cryptocurrency). PeckShield has determined that this incident is a phishing scam.
