🧠 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.
