BeInCrypto
Polymarket dismissed claims of a data breach, stating the allegedly hacked information is publicly available data and not a security vulnerability.Summary
Polymarket has refuted claims of a significant data breach after a threat actor known as xorcat attempted to sell 300,000 records on a cybercrime forum. The platform clarified that the data—which includes user profiles and market information—is not sensitive, but is instead publicly accessible via their APIs and on-chain history. Polymarket emphasized that transparency is a core feature of their on-chain model and noted that they maintain a $5 million bug bounty program, though public data scraping does not qualify for rewards.
