🚨 FRENCH BANK CONFIRMS €118M HEIST THROUGH CRYPTO RAILS

French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa has confirmed a cyberattack that let hackers run fraudulent transactions through its own accounts, with the bank validating the ~€118M (~$133M) scale first traced onchain by ZachXBT.

🔹 WHAT HAPPENED
Attackers got in through a third-party service provider platform, not through Fortuneo, the bank says. Funds moved out via the bank's own accounts, and onchain tracers found tens of millions in stablecoins swapped into $ETH on UniswapX, about $63M converted into ~27,553 ETH in roughly four hours.

🔹 WHY IT MATTERS
This was not a DeFi exploit. It was a traditional bank's own rails used as the on-ramp to crypto laundering, at a scale that ranks among Europe's biggest bank breaches this year. Expect regulators to use it as fresh ammunition for tighter controls on bank-to-crypto flows and off-ramp monitoring.

⚠️ HONEST RISK
The €118M figure is ZachXBT's estimate, validated only as an order of magnitude. The bank has not confirmed a final loss, some funds were frozen, and recovery is ongoing. Customer deposits are unaffected and the incident is contained, per the bank. No proven market impact yet, this is a security and regulation story, not a sell signal.
