Revolut attackers threaten daily customer data leaks
Attackers reportedly published identity documents and selfies belonging to Revolut customers and threatened to release more data each day until the fintech pays.
Attackers have released the personal data of Revolut customers and threatened to continue leaking more information daily until Revolut pays up. The stolen data includes identity documents, selfies, and personal details of tennis player Alexander Shevchenko and Gamdom CEO Felix Römer, according to an X post from International Cyber Digest.
The attackers claimed on Telegram that they would release more data every day until Revolut complies. This development could heighten the risk of identity theft for the affected customers. Revolut's leaked data encompasses full names, dates of birth, occupations, contact information, account statements, and complete transaction history, including Bitcoin transactions.
The company confirmed on Friday that the leaked data pertains to a "limited number" of customers, and their systems and funds remain secure. Revolut attributed the breach to a "sophisticated external impersonation scam," where the attacker impersonated a legitimate government agency via an email address to obtain the data fraudulently.
