Crédit Mutuel Arkéa confirmed in a Wednesday customer statement that hackers accessed its systems and carried out fraudulent transactions, The Next Web reported. The French cooperative bank said the incident was contained and customers' money was safe.

Arkéa temporarily suspended some transactions and is restoring services, although some transfers were delayed. It said it notified authorities when it detected the attack. The bank is still assessing the loss and has not disclosed how attackers gained access. Separately, blockchain investigator ZachXBT estimates that more than $133m was stolen, Cryptoast reported; Arkéa has not confirmed that figure.
