PMX trading bot attacked, users lost $230,000

According to the official announcement from PMX, its Polycule trading bot was attacked by hackers exploiting a vulnerability last night, resulting in the theft of user funds. The source of the vulnerability has been identified, and a fix and audit will be launched this weekend.

The official statement indicates that only about $230,000 of user funds were affected. Once the system is restored, compensation will be provided to the affected users on the Polygon chain through the treasury, restoring their balances to pre-attack levels.
