CryptoPolymarket Dismisses 'Data Breach' Claims: Hacker Peddling Public Information
Polymarket has pushed back against data breach claims, asserting that a purported hacker is merely reselling already-public information. The platform's response follows an individual's claim of compromising Polymarket and other prediction markets, threatening to release sensitive data imminently. "We've investigated these claims thoroughly and found no evidence of any security breach," a Polymarket spokesperson stated. "The data in question is publicly accessible and doesn't indicate a system compromise." The anonymous figure has warned of releasing additional data from other prediction markets within days. Security experts suggest this could be an attempt to manipulate cryptocurrency values or extort vulnerable platforms. While users are advised to remain vigilant, Polymarket maintains that its security infrastructure remains intact and that no customer funds or private information have been compromised in the incident.
