#PolymarketDeniesDataBreach Polymarket Denies Data Breach Claims – “Complete and Utter Nonsense” A hacker (reportedly xorcat) recently claimed on the dark web to have breached Polymarket and is trying to sell over 300,000 user records. Polymarket has strongly denied any data breach, calling the claims “complete and utter nonsense.” According to the platform, the data being offered is not private — it is already publicly available through their open APIs, public endpoints, and on-chain information. They clarified that no sensitive user data was leaked because much of the information on prediction markets is inherently transparent by design. The company stated: “No data was leaked — it’s accessible via our public endpoints & on-chain data. Instead of paying for the data, you can access it for free via our APIs.” This incident has sparked debate in the community: Some users are relieved that it appears to be public data rather than a real breach. Others remain skeptical and are questioning Polymarket’s data handling practices, especially given the platform’s growing popularity and recent controversies around insider trading. In prediction markets, transparency is a double-edged sword — while on-chain activity is public by nature, users still expect protection of personal details like emails or KYC information (if any). What’s your take on this? Is Polymarket telling the truth that it’s just public data being repackaged, or should they be more careful with user information? Drop your thoughts below 👇 #BinanceSquare
