As the value and popularity of digital assets continue to rise, cybercriminals are also incentivized to exploit any vulnerabilities they can find.
Polygon, one of the leading blockchain platforms, has experienced a significant security crisis as its community Discord channel has been compromised.
Mudit Gupta, Polygon’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), confirmed the breach and urged users to avoid clicking on any links shared within the Discord channel until the situation is fully resolved.
This incident has raised serious concerns about the security measures in place, even as Gupta stated that all privileged accounts had two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.
