【A few Polymarket users said their accounts logged in through Google were hacked and USDC was stolen】 September 29, according to Cointelegraph, some users of the prediction market Polymarket recently reported wallet attacks. Attackers used the "proxy" function to steal victims' USDC balances, mainly affecting users who logged in with Google accounts. One user, HHeego, was attacked on August 5 and 11, with a total loss of approximately $5,197.11. Another user, Cryptomaniac, lost $745 on August 9.Polymarket customer service admitted that at least five similar attack cases had been discovered, and attackers were suspected of using "email one-time passwords" to log in to victims' accounts. However, the victim said that he had never used an email address to access the platform. Users who use browser wallet extensions such as MetaMask or Trustwallet were not affected. Polymarket uses Magic Labs' SDK to implement password-free and seed-free logins. In theory, attackers need to access the user's Google account to authenticate. But the victim said no signs of Google account being hacked were found. Currently, Polymarket and Magic Labs have not responded to this incident.
