Someone claimed they hacked Polymarket and stole 300,000 user records.
Polymarket's response? 😂
"You accessed our publicly accessible API endpoints and on-chain data and are trying to SELL the data we offer developers for FREE? Which VC paid you to post this?"
Let me explain this simply 👇
Polymarket runs on blockchain. Everything is already public by design.
The "hacker" basically walked through an open door, collected free data and tried to sell it on the dark web.
That's like stealing a newspaper from a park bench and calling yourself a thief. 😅
BUT... security experts aren't fully convinced by Polymarket's denial.
The attacker claims he found hidden API gaps, bypassed pagination limits and exploited misconfigurations. Some of these are genuinely embarrassing for a platform handling real money.
So who's right?
Polymarket says: "Feature not a bug."
Security researchers say: "Unlocked doors are still unlocked."
Your wallet addresses, usernames and activity patterns may now be linked together in one searchable database, even if each piece was technically public before.
Public data + organized database = privacy risk. Even on blockchain.
Most people see $USDS and think it’s just another stablecoin.
I think many are missing the bigger story. 👀
$USDS isn’t random. It comes from the Sky Protocol ecosystem, the project formerly known as MakerDAO, one of the oldest and most respected names in DeFi.
This is the same lineage that created DAI, a stablecoin that survived multiple market crashes, bull runs, and stress tests.
So when I see $USDS getting strong Binance support, I don’t see hype. I see infrastructure.
