French Mutual Credit Bank Arkia reported on the 4th that the bank was attacked by a cyber attack and has now blocked some of the stolen funds. According to the bank's notification, the hacker entered the bank's own account and transferred money to other banks. The stolen funds were then exchanged for cryptocurrencies through a dedicated platform. Currently, banks have intercepted some of the funds and are taking other measures to recover the remaining funds. Bank clients' funds have not been lost. According to French sources, the funds transferred by the hackers may have exceeded 100 million euros. The bank did not confirm this figure; it only stated that the amount of funds involved in the attack was still being assessed. The Paris Public Prosecutor's Office has launched an official investigation into the matter.
