🧠 BREAKING: Crypto caught what banks missed?
After a cyberattack on Brazil’s Central Bank, it was a crypto exchange — not a traditional institution — that first detected the fraud. Here's why that matters 🧵👇
🔐 On July 1st, multiple banks were targeted using stolen credentials from C&M Software clients.
Hackers accessed the Central Bank’s shared reserve system.
Authorities shut down C&M’s infrastructure as a precaution.
🚨 But the red flag didn’t come from the banking sector.
It came from SmartPay, a crypto company.
They noticed irregular transactions involving $USDT and
$BTC before any bank reacted.
💸 The attackers tried laundering the stolen funds using newly created accounts and rapid PIX transfers — Brazil’s instant payment system.
⚠️ Thanks to PIX’s tracking system and SmartPay's validation filters, the fraud was quickly identified.
🤖 This is more than a one-off incident.
It shows how crypto-native infrastructure is evolving faster than traditional finance in terms of real-time fraud detection and transparency.
👮 Investigations are underway, and crypto regulation in Brazil continues to tighten — which might be exactly what the industry needs to earn more trust.
💬 What’s your take?
Will blockchain tech set the new standard for financial security?
🔁 Repost this if you believe crypto is more than just speculation — it’s infrastructure for the future.
