    The touchscreen device will come with current-gen M5 Pro and M5 Max chips when it launches later this year or early 2027, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.

    Polymarket says it’s refunding some users after hackers stole their crypto.

    In a post spotted by TechCrunch, Polymarket says “a 3rd party vendor had been compromised, injecting malicious script into our frontend for some users.”

    The update comes just hours after blockchain security firm PeckShield notified users of a potential phishing campaign targeting Polymarket users. Around $3 million worth of Polymarket’s crypto token was drained from user wallets, PeckShield says.
