Semafor, France 24 and the Financial Times report that Crédit Mutuel Arkéa, a French regional bank, said hackers gained access to its own account and made about €100 million ($112 million) in fraudulent transfers to other banks. France 24 reports that the bank said client accounts were not affected and clients suffered no losses. The Financial Times reports that the bank is seeking to recover the funds and that the technique echoes last week's hack of crypto exchange Binance. Semafor describes it as a rare heist of a mainstream lender, one of numerous recent cyberattacks in Europe, including one on France's blood banks and a hack of supermarket fridges that affected 10 countries. Regulators have recently urged firms to step up their defenses.
