Not to kick someone while they are down, but come on…
https://www.debugbear.com/ doesn't seem to be doing so hot atm
They took themselves offline.
Not a good look. They got hacked, post on Twitter for all of their users to delete it, then yank their own marketing site off the internet.
They're a very small company (one or two people) and based on public posts have engaged a security incident response company
If their domains were compromised they were probably recommended to take it down for now
I hope they come out of it okay, personally if nothing else as I can't imagine the stress and worry.
I am surprised such a tool from a small team would be used on Polymarket, assuming that was the cause for their hack.
It may be and look for Debugbear but its a terrible look for whoever makes vendor and security decisions at a large (definitely not gambling) company.
