Revolut exposed Bitcoin records after fake agency request
The company said the request passed domain authentication checks and exposed passports, account statements and Bitcoin histories for an unknown number of customers.
- Revolut disclosed customer identities and financial records, including Bitcoin transaction histories, after acting on a fraudulent request that appeared to come from a government agency.
- The request arrived from an unauthorized email account using an official government agency's domain; it passed authentication checks, leading staff to believe the communication was genuine.
- Disclosed records included full names, dates of birth, occupations, identity documents, and Bitcoin transaction histories, though the company confirmed biometric facial telemetry data was not involved.
- On Friday, on-chain investigator ZachXBT shared a customer notice on Telegram, though the company has not confirmed the total number of affected users.
- While Revolut serves more than 80 million customers globally, the company maintains it will not ask users to share verification codes over the phone.
