Brecha de seguridad en Polymarket provoca pérdidas de $2.7 millones a traders

El 29 de octubre de 2026, Polymarket detuvo las operaciones en su plataforma internacional tras una brecha de seguridad vinculada a un servicio de monitoreo externo, que resultó en retiros no autorizados por aproximadamente $2. 7 millones. La empresa se comprometió a reembolsar a todos los traders afectados y a reforzar las medidas de seguridad. Antes de la brecha, el equipo global de inteligencia de Polymarket investigaba numerosas apuestas relacionadas con elecciones y remitió algunos casos a la Comisión de Comercio de Futuros de Productos Básicos de EE.

UU. El sistema de vigilancia de la plataforma generaba cientos de alertas diarias para supervisar la actividad de apuestas y detectar posibles operaciones con información privilegiada. El incidente llevó a una suspensión temporal de las operaciones durante aproximadamente una hora mientras la empresa abordaba los problemas de seguridad e iniciaba los reembolsos a los usuarios afectados.
