BleepingComputer · By Bill Toulas ·
The Brief
- Hackers reportedly made fraudulent transactions of up to $133 million at French cooperative bank Crédit Mutuel Arkéa.
- The attack reportedly went through a service provider.
- The bank responded by suspending certain systems.
Why it matters

Who’s affected
- Crédit Mutuel Arkéa customers
- Teams operating third-party service provider integrations with financial institutions
