Polymarket pauses international trading after flagging a third-party compromise, then resumes

Polymarket paused international trading on Oct. 29 after what it called a third-party provider compromise, NBC News reported; trading resumed at 3 p.m. ET. The Wall Street Journal linked the issue to DebugBear through an unnamed source and later reported at least $2.6 million in user funds drained. NBC had earlier described users’ loss claims as unconfirmed. Polymarket promised to reimburse affected traders and referred the incident to British authorities.
