Polymarket: Private key rotation has been completed, and the private key is planned to be migrated to a key management service in the future.

Mars Finance News, Prediction Market
Polymarket officials stated that the cause of this security incident was a private key that had been in use for six years being leaked.
The private key was used for internal recharge configuration, causing some funds to flow to related addresses.
The team has now completed private key rotation and revoked all production environment permissions.
The plan moving forward is to migrate all private keys to a Key Management Service (KMS), abandoning traditional storage methods.
The platform and UMA contracts were not attacked, user funds are safe, and platform operations are unaffected.

UMA contract was not affected; it's a stroke of luck in misfortune.

The traditional storage method should have already been moved to the museum.

Six years of private keys, hackers probably didn't expect it to be this easy

Six years without rotating the private key; this operation is really a bit outrageous.

Migrating KMS is the right direction, but the lessons learned are very profound.
