ChainCatcher reports that a user profited $34k by interfering with weather sensors at Paris Airport in the Polymarket weather prediction market. Polymarket previously settled using data from Météo France sensors near Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, with the user purchasing temperature options far above market expectations at a very low price. The user then used a portable heat source to heat the sensor, causing the readings to spike significantly in a short period and be recorded as the highest temperature of the day. This behavior occurred twice on April 6 and April 15, and Météo France has now detected anomalies and filed charges.
