Crédit Mutuel Arkéa Warns Customers of Phishing Risk After Cyberattack

TLDR Crédit Mutuel Arkéa says attackers entered through a third-party service provider’s platform, not through its Fortuneo unit. The bank confirmed only the “order of magnitude” of the reported €118 million ($133 million) loss. Customer assets were not affected, but some transfers were delayed. The Paris public prosecutor has opened an investigation into an organized group. ZachXBT traced funds through exchanges and Monero, and said he doubts Lazarus Group was involved. Crédit Mutuel Arkéa said on November 4 that hackers used its own account to make fraudulent transfers. The French bank has not confirmed the exact amount lost. It did say the reported figure of €118 million ($133 million) is in the right range.
