Vendor Breach Linked to FictorPay Hits Brazil Fintechs, Losses Approach R$40 Million

A compromise at Diletta Solutions exposed a supply‑chain weak point that recent transfer caps did not contain.

Overview

  • Diletta Solutions confirmed a cyber intrusion, and sources say criminals coerced an employee for credentials in a method resembling July’s C&M Software case.
  • About R$26 million was diverted from a FictorPay client, with nearly R$40 million reported across other Diletta‑served fintechs.
  • FictorPay and BaaS provider Celcoin say their own platforms were not breached, as Celcoin flagged atypical movements and froze transactions.
  • The Central Bank observed unusual flows on Sunday and alerted Celcoin, and sources say no systems run by the regulator were attacked.
  • New rules cap certain Pix and TED transfers at R$15,000 via PSTIs, but Celcoin’s direct Pix connection meant the cap did not apply, and the regulator is considering broader limits according to reports.
