The CNA has identified a security incident that resulted in the loss of money from a large Italian bank group. A hacker involved the CNA in a cybersecurity incident that caused $100 million to disappear from a large Italian bank's account. The attack was published on November 5, 2026, through an operation of cybercrime involving third-party services used by the CNA for facilitating online transactions. The responsible parties declared that the money had been stolen in the form of cryptocurrency but could have been converted into cryptocurrency after it itself had been stolen.

The CNA immediately halted some transfers as precautionary measures, causing temporary payment issues but declared that the funds were not damaged. French judicial authorities are investigating the incident, which occurred shortly after another cybercrime against Binance and an Internet-connected fridge attack wave across Europe. Rafay Baloch, CEO of RedSecLabs, emphasized that this incident is 'exceptional' in Europe given that cyberattacks are common, but they have never been involved so significantly with banks. It is part of the Credit Mutuel network and is backed by Credit Mutuel, while maintaining strategic autonomy.

A French judicial authority has issued an alert that a digital security unit has been activated and an investigation is underway. This incident became public knowledge after the CNAs declared that the third-party service used for facilitating online transactions was involved in the attack.

Despite this, the CNA has declined to clearly identify which third-party service was involved, stating there is no connection between the Fortuneo division and customer accounts. The incident's responsible parties have claimed that hackers used a CNA account to commit 'fraudulent transactions,' but they did not provide specific information on the nature of the stolen money or its whereabouts. The French judicial authorities have declared that the incident was discovered through a cybercrime operation, but they did not provide further details on how the attack occurred. Rafay Baloch, CEO of RedSecLabs, emphasized that these attacks are common, but they have never been so significant for banks. When there's an issue with your financial system, it can be a serious problem.
