**Affected:** Polymarket, Ledger

## What happened

Polymarket paused trading on Thursday after users reported funds leaving their accounts. The company said one of its third-party providers was compromised. Estimates of the losses range from about $1.4 million to $3.46 million, and several outlets cite roughly $2.6 to $2.7 million across nearly 1,000 accounts. Trading was later restored, and Polymarket says impacted users will be refunded. Headlines also mention a separate Ledger breach, but the sources give conflicting or unclear details, so we can't confirm a link between the two.

## Who is affected

Polymarket users whose accounts were drained, reportedly nearly 1,000 accounts. Other Polymarket users may want to check their accounts as a precaution. Whether Ledger users are affected is unclear from the sources.

## What to do now

- Open the Polymarket app or site yourself, without using any link in a message, and review your balance and recent activity.
- Contact Polymarket through its official support channels if you see transactions you didn't make.
- Change your Polymarket password and turn on an authenticator app or passkey where available.
- Review and revoke any token approvals you don't recognize or no longer use.
- Be wary of emails, DMs, or posts claiming to offer refunds or asking you to verify your wallet. Scammers often exploit incidents like this.
- Never share your seed phrase or approve unexpected wallet requests.

Our alerts never ask you to click a link, log in, "verify" a wallet or move funds. Expect scammers to copy this news: if a message about it asks for any of that, it's a scam.
