Hackers arrested over €30M bank fraud exploiting service provider flaw

Four cybercriminals were arrested in Brazil and three others were charged in Europe for exploiting a vulnerability at a service provider to fraudulently withdraw funds from Commerzbank customer accounts. The scheme resulted in approximately 30 million euros in losses.

Why it matters: Banks and their customers face exposure when service provider vulnerabilities go unpatched; practitioners should review vendor vulnerability disclosures and assess whether their own service providers have similar flaws.
