Here’s the play-by-play of what happened on Monday and when players can expect Phenom to be up and running. # How a Hack Happened on Phenom Poker While players who tried accessing the site on Monday were met with “the site is under maintenance,” message, CEO of Phenom Poker Matt Valeo came out with an official statement on Discord via Michael Dunlop: Today we got attacked by a sophisticated group who was able to compromise a team members machine. Unfortunately, a private key was compromised and the hacker was able to move some site funds before we were able to act. PLAYER FUNDS ARE SAFE. Valeo went on to explain that $94,267 in USDC were taken from its token liquidity pool and doubled down on the fact that no player funds were affected in this hack, as these are not directly available to Phenom and by proxy to the hackers. In the same Discord group, Valeo added: Although this event is frustrating… I’m personally glad to see the system working – players were able to control and withdraw their funds even while our app was offline Since the initial hack on Monday, Phenom has been working around the clock to restore the liquidity pool. # What Are the Next Steps for Phenom? As of right now, Phenom is still down for the count. In their initial statement, the team behind Phenom Poker said it will be double checking contracts, endpoints and wallets to make sure everything is good to go and most importantly safe once the system has been rebooted. While the original timeline planned that Phenom Poker go back online again at 10am ET on April 4, the most recent update on Discord announced it was ready to speed things up. According to this, the security check is completed and the site is back on track to go live in just a few hours, at 10 AM (EST), April 2. During its security sweep, Phenom was able to pinpoint the exact source of the hack and take additional precautionary measures were beyond what they originally planned when going offline. **Source**: [https://www.pokerlistings.com/news/phenom-poker-speeds-up-return-timeline-after-94k-hack](https://www.pokerlistings.com/news/phenom-poker-speeds-up-return-timeline-after-94k-hack) by [Iva Dozet](https://www.pokerlistings.com/author/iva_dozets_pl)

As simple as that - I have $200 in my phenom wallet from accrued rakeback. Or at least I supposedly do. They recently overhauled their rakeback system - the details are frankly very confusing to me and I wasn't playing on the site much anyways. I tried to withdraw the $200 on 2/15 and wasn't able to find a way to do so on the site. I reached out to customer support and they told me a solution was coming soon. It's been 10 days later and they still are providing no way to withdraw. Be wary and avoid this site until further notice. Edit: I got my money out. Still a huge pain in the ass...
