Polymarket Sends $3.9M Back to Traders After Vendor Script Drain

A hijacked page-speed script drained $2.7M from 726 wallets, and Polymarket is covering another $1.19M in losses tied to its trading pause. Polymarket says it’s returning $3.9M to users after a hijacked third-party script emptied hundreds of accounts on its international site on Thursday (Oct. 29th). As of Friday morning, the prediction market reports that 689 of 726 hit wallets are now fully repaid, with the last 37 getting paid as each one is verified. The vector: Polymarket’s contracts weren’t the problem.
