Revolut Attackers Begin Leaking Customer Data

Revolut said a limited number of customers were affected and that systems and customer funds remained unaffected after an impersonation scam exposed identity records.

  • Attackers began posting sensitive Revolut customer information on Telegram, threatening to release more data daily until the fintech pays. The published files include identity documents and selfies belonging to customers.
  • Revolut stated on Saturday that the breach resulted from a "sophisticated external impersonation scam." Attackers used an email address from a legitimate government agency domain to submit fraudulent information requests.
  • Friday notifications from Revolut confirmed the exposure of full names, dates of birth, occupations, account statements, and full transaction histories, including records of Bitcoin transactions.
  • While Revolut claimed the breach affected a "limited number" of customers, attackers reportedly threatened to release more data every day until the company pays. Systems and funds remain unaffected, the company said.
  • International Cyber Digest reported on Sunday that identity documents and selfies belonging to Alexander Shevchenko and Gamdom CEO Felix were among the exposed files, increasing risks of identity theft.
