⚡️🇫🇷 NEW - A French bank has reportedly been the victim of a hack involving more than $133 million in cryptocurrency, according to revelations by ZachXBT.
On November 1, a hacker reportedly managed to siphon off more than $106 million from several accounts on cryptocurrency platforms.
Despite an initial public alert, an additional $27 million was reportedly withdrawn afterward.
The funds were converted from USDC and USDT to Ethereum and Monero, then dispersed across multiple blockchains to cover their tracks.
The on-chain investigator claims that the victim is Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, a French banking group managing approximately $235 billion in assets.
He even suspects that the actual amount stolen exceeds $133 million.
So far, the banking group has not confirmed the incident, and the victim’s identity remains to be verified. The investigator also believes that this attack is not linked to the North Korean hackers known as Lazarus.
