$700K Drained from Polymarket-linked UMA Adapter on Polygon

A Polymarket-linked UMA CTF Adapter contract on Polygon was exploited, resulting in approximately $700,000 in $POL tokens being drained. The attacker systematically extracted 5,000 $POL every 30 seconds. Polymarket clarified that the incident was specific to the adapter and not a direct hack of its core platform or smart contracts.
