French bank confirms cyber heist, hackers suspected to have stolen an estimated $133 million

Crédit Mutuel Arkéa confirmed that attackers compromised an unnamed supplier to gain access to the bank's systems and execute transfers totaling an estimated $133 million. The attackers leveraged the bank's own account to move the stolen funds.

Why it matters: Financial services and their suppliers are targeted for direct theft; practitioners managing supplier access and payment systems should review authentication, transaction monitoring, and access controls for financial transfers.
