DraftKings Inc DKNG shares are trading lower Monday following reports that user accounts on the company's platform have been hacked. DraftKings took to Twitter late Sunday to acknowledge the reports

"We are aware of reports of customers having issues with their accounts, and we are investigating. If any customers are having issues with their accounts, please contact Customer Experience Team at support@draftkings.com," the company's customer support account said via tweet. 

An Action Network report details specific user reports, including one Tennessee man who saw five consecutive unauthorized withdrawals of $500 from his account. 

“It was withdrawing it from my bank card that I used for my deposits," the man reportedly said.

Another DraftKings user was watching Sunday Night Football when he saw an email noting that $437 was being withdrawn from his DraftKings account. Several other users have reported having their accounts cleared for unknown reasons.
