How this kind of attack works
Private keys or signing rights that controlled the funds were stolen, and the attacker moved the money with valid signatures. On chain it looks like a normal transfer.
Would a pre-payment check have helped
Key compromise is a wallet and key-security matter; screening the counterparty or endpoint does not touch it.
