Polygon Official Discord Server Compromised: Warning From CISO

Polygon’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), Mudit Gupta, alerted users via his Twitter account that the official Polygon Discord server had been hacked. Gupta cautioned users against clicking any links shared on the Discord server until further notice. Polygon's official Twitter account retweeted Gupta's warning. This incident comes shortly after Polygon announced the migration of its native token, MATIC, to a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) consensus mechanism earlier this September.
