[Brazilian Central Bank to Deploy Cryptocurrency Threat Alert System Involving $180 Million Attack Incident]
Odaily Planet Daily News: The Central Bank of Brazil (Brazilian Central Bank) has developed a real-time cryptocurrency threat alert system in collaboration with digital asset threat protection company Hypernative. The system will provide attack detection, response, and fund tracking support to banks and domestic cryptocurrency exchanges.
In July 2025, cybercriminals exploited a software vulnerability in financial middleware company C&M to steal $180 million from the financial system, converting part of the funds into Bitcoin and USDT through exchanges. This incident accelerated the Brazilian Central Bank's efforts to build the system.
Regina Pedroso, Executive Director of the Brazilian Tokenization Association (ABToken), stated that the system will begin integration within the next two weeks, with Foxbit and Mercado Bitcoin participating in the implementation. Relevant institutions have completed testing and issued partial alerts. Additionally, Brazil will implement a 24-hour preventive hold on individual cryptocurrency transfers exceeding $10,000 in a single transaction or cumulative daily amount. (Bitcoin.com News)
