According to user reports on social media, multiple accounts on the prediction platform Polymarket experienced unauthorized asset transfers. One trader, Car, reported that approximately $800,000 was stolen from his account and all his positions were sold; his friend's account also suffered a loss of approximately $600,000. Other users reported losses of approximately $200,000 and reported unauthorized withdrawal requests on the website. Users suspect a front-end attack on the website, and some have advised temporarily ceasing interaction with the site and locking their accounts. As of press time, Polymarket has not responded. In June of this year, the platform suffered a front-end phishing attack due to a third-party supplier intrusion, resulting in the theft of approximately $2.94 million in user assets; the cause and scale of the current attack have not yet been officially confirmed.
