Crédit Mutuel Arkéa confirmed that it suffered a cyberattack involving more than $133 million in suspicious transactions, a figure that could be substantially higher. Investigations suggest that the fraudsters made fraudulent transfers through Fortuneo, converted the funds into stablecoins and then dispersed the cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains. On-chain investigator ZachXBT identified $133 million in suspicious withdrawals, while some sources estimate losses between $600 million and nearly $1 billion. Kraken and Crypto.com blocked funds linked to the incident, but the bank has neither confirmed the exact amount stolen nor attributed the attack, while possible internal complicity remains an unsubstantiated hypothesis.
