In July 2025, a cyber attack on C&M Software, the company responsible for banking systems, resulted in the diversion of up to R$ 1 billion from reserve accounts of at least six financial institutions.
🔍 Important: there was no impact on Pix nor on end customers.
The investigation conducted by the Federal Police has already identified one of the responsible parties: João Nazareno Roque, an employee of the company, was arrested for selling access credentials for R$ 15,000.
So far, R$ 5.5 million has been recovered in cryptocurrencies.
💡 The case reinforces the importance of digital security in all sectors. Even large institutions are vulnerable when there are combined human and technical failures.
🔐 Stay alert:
• Use two-factor authentication (2FA)
• Keep strong and unique passwords
• Be cautious with access on public networks
