Revolut says no direct contact after $3 million public ransom demand
Revolut says it received no direct contact despite separate ransom demands for $3 million in Monero and 10,000 Bitcoin from competing breach claimants.
Revolut has received no direct contact from the claimants demanding $3 million in Monero or 10,000 Bitcoin following a customer data breach, according to the company. The breach was disclosed last week, prompting Italian authorities to expand their investigation after discovering a government email account may have been used to obtain the customer data.
Competing ransom demands have emerged from groups calling themselves "IAmNotAVillain," "Revolut Smilik," and "revoloot.lol," each with varying demands and claims of responsibility. Revolut's spokesperson confirmed that the company has not received any direct contact from the individuals or groups making these claims, adding to the uncertainty surrounding the incident.
