Technical writeup

A coordinated media investigation led by Süddeutsche Zeitung and Organized Crime Works published the so-called 'Suisse Secrets' trove summarizing tens of thousands of legacy Credit Suisse accounts and aggregate balances, framed as whistleblower-sourced banking records spanning many decades rather than a contemporaneous network intrusion. The bank contested allegations about ongoing business practices while prosecutors and parliamentary inquiries later examined leak-handling and market fallout tied to reputational damage.

Root cause

Unauthorized disclosure of internal client records to investigative journalists (insider / leak vector per project methodology—not a public APT chain)
