Digitalbank: „Sonst werden alle Daten verkauft“: Hacker verlangen von Revolut drei Millionen Dollar Lösegeld
Eine Gruppe namens Iamnotavillain fordert auf einer Internetseite eine Zahlung in einer Kryptowährung. In Italien ermittelt in dem Fall nun auch die Antimafia- und Antiterrorismusbehörde.
The British digital bank Revolut is facing a ransom demand for stolen customer data. The group responsible, calling themselves Iamnotavillain (or "I am no criminal" in English), claims responsibility for the data breach and is demanding a payment of three million dollars in the cryptocurrency Monero. According to the website they control, which the Trade Paper could view, the hackers have threatened to sell all the stolen data if their ransom is not paid.
The site contains several ID documents and photos that the hackers likely obtained from Revolut. They claim to have access to personal details such as identification documents (KYC), addresses, photos, phone numbers, email addresses, banking connections, and transaction data involving both fiat and cryptocurrency. Verification of these claims is not possible.
The Financial Times reported that Iamnotavillain had given Revolut 24 hours to pay the ransom on Wednesday evening. It is unusual for criminals to publicly make such demands, according to the Financial Times, which claims to have spoken with the hackers. Typically, hackers would initially contact the affected company directly regarding ransom demands.
