The bank said customer funds were unaffected after attackers accessed its systems through a service provider’s platform.

French banking group Crédit Mutuel Arkéa said nearly all operations resumed Wednesday after a cyberattack linked to a suspected theft from the bank’s own account.

The bank said operations resumed following security checks and additional safeguards. It said customer funds were unaffected and the disruption only delayed certain transfers.

Withdrawals from crypto exchanges first exposed the suspected theft. Blockchain analytics firm Bitquery traced withdrawals from accounts at Kraken, Crypto.com and OKX before the victim was publicly identified.
