At least R $ 100 million was diverted in the hacker attack on the company of the company C&M Software, a technology service provider for financial institutions such as banks and brokers. The case can be considered the largest in the history of the national financial system.
The Federal Police (PF) has opened an investigation and the occurrence is being determined by a task force of the Cyber Crime Repression Board to identify the authorship of this “virtual robbery”. According to Central Bank technicians (BC), the exact value of the attack has not yet been estimated, but there is evidence that the losses can reach $ 1 billion.
In a statement, the BC reported that the provider reported the criminal action and was immediately disconnected from access to financial institutions.
C&M is a software company for the BC authorized and supervised banking sector, responsible for communication between financial institutions and the Brazilian Payment System (SPB), including the PIX liquidation environment.
The coup the company suffered is known by the name of “Supply Chain”, and seeks to hit the customers of its customers. Reserve accounts – maintained directly in the Central Bank and used exclusively for interbank liquidation – from six financial institutions were misguided. Final customer resources have not been reached.
