There is no evidence that the online betting platform's systems were compromised, according to DraftKings.
According to a report by The Action Network, an unknown number of users discovered unusual activity in their DraftKings account that led to withdrawals from their bank accounts. Users said they were locked out of their accounts before they noticed the drawdowns.
Irregular activity with customers' accounts is somethingDraftKings knows about. Paul Liberman, co-founder and president for global technology and product said in a statement that they believe the login information of these customers was compromised on other websites and used to access their DraftKings accounts where they used the same login information.
The company has identified less than $300,000 of customer funds that were affected by the unusual activity, and intends to make whole any customer that was impacted.
The shares of the company fell.

There has been an increase in activity of hackers trying to break into the platform. The company stated that the attempts have been unsuccessful.
Customers are encouraged to report any suspicious activity if they suspect their account has been compromised.
