Users suffer losses after Polygon Discord hack

Some fans of the Polygon blockchain, or those looking for help with using it, suffered losses after hackers successfully compromised the project's Discord server. Discord hacks have become a major issue in the cryptocurrency world, and although Polygon is one of the largest projects to suffer a Discord compromise, it's far from the only project to do so.

One member of the Discord described losing more than $140,000 in tokens after clicking a link shared by a person appearing to be a member of the Polygon team, which advertised a token distribution to serve as a "pre-migration celebration".
