Crédit Mutuel Arkéa resumed nearly all operations on Wednesday after a cyberattack linked to a suspected theft from the bank’s own account. Customer funds were unaffected, and the disruption only delayed certain transfers. Attackers accessed the systems through a service provider and transferred the bank’s money to other financial institutions, potentially allowing them to convert it into cryptocurrency. Blockchain analytics researcher ZachXBT estimated that suspicious withdrawals exceeded $133 million before the bank confirmed the attack. Arkéa said it could not confirm the reported figures, added that some funds had been frozen, and stated that recovery efforts were continuing.
