Hackers Breach Fintech Firm in Attempted $130M Pix Heist

🔐 Evertec disclosed that hackers breached its Brazilian subsidiary Sinqia S.A.'s environment on the Central Bank real-time payment system Pix on August 29, 2025, and attempted unauthorized transactions totaling up to $130 million. Sinqia halted Pix transaction processing and retained external cybersecurity forensics experts to investigate and contain the incident. The Central Bank revoked Sinqia’s Pix access while recovery efforts continue and part of the funds has been recovered; Evertec reports no evidence of exposed personal data and attributes the intrusion to stolen credentials from an IT vendor account.
