Crédit Mutuel Arkéa suffered a cyberattack through an external service provider, resulting in the theft of approximately 100 million euros. According to cybersecurity expert Frédéric Ocana, the operation may have been prepared several months in advance: $126 million in USDC was transferred from Kraken, Crypto.com and OKX to 17 wallets on November 1 and 2. The funds were then dispersed across multiple addresses and blockchain bridges, with part reportedly converted into Monero. As of November 5, approximately $37.3 million remained on Ethereum, while Tether had frozen $1.14 million in USDT. The European Central Bank reportedly contacted other banks, which are strengthening payment monitoring and reviewing accounts with extensive access rights.
