A scam targeting Polymarket users exploited comment section links to redirect victims to phishing sites, leading to account compromises and significant financial theft.
Hackers stole over $500,000 from Polymarket users by posting fake private market links in comment sections. These phishing links redirected victims to sites disguised as Polymarket, where malicious code was executed to gain account access and drain funds. The operation demonstrates how public interaction features can be leveraged for large-scale crypto theft.
