#预测市场 I just saw news on social media about a Polymarket user account being hacked, and I broke out in a cold sweat 😰

This time, the vulnerability was due to an issue with the third-party authentication service Magic Labs, which is the service that allows newcomers like us to log in directly with email and create wallets with a single click without complicated steps. Sounds very convenient, right? But this time, something went wrong...

What confused me the most was that Polymarket's official statement confirmed there was a security issue but didn't clarify how many people were affected or how much was lost. It always feels like the information isn't transparent enough. But the good news is they said they have fixed it, so there should be no risk now.

This incident gave me a big wake-up call — no matter how convenient the login method is, security must be reliable. It seems that when we newcomers choose platforms, we should not only look at how good the features are but also pay attention to their security record and how they handle vulnerability fixes.

Can any experts advise how to judge a platform's security? What are the most common points of failure in wallets, exchanges, and similar places? Want to avoid pitfalls early.
