Polymarket’s traders lost funds through a website supplier. How safe is the trading screen?

Polymarket’s October 29 breach reached traders through a compromised website supplier. Researchers found code that tried to use logged-in accounts to sell positions and move assets, exposing the trust traders place in the screen they use to manage their money. A trader using the name Car said approximately $800,000 had disappeared from his Polymarket account and all his positions had been sold. He said he kept trading on a separate device and avoided unfamiliar links. Other traders were reporting losses as Polymarket restricted its international exchange on October 29.
