What we know about the Revolut customer data leak

Attackers who tricked UK-based online bank Revolut into handing over sensitive customer information are currently releasing stolen details while allegedly threatening to keep leaking until the fintech coughs up over 10,000 BTC. At current prices, that would put the ransom at roughly $780 million. Revolut hasn’t confirmed the demand or authenticated any of the material currently circulating online. Many on social media have also expressed doubt that this ransom demand is real, with Revolut investor and crypto analyst Max Karpis pointing out that such a payment would be easily traced, making it extremely difficult to cash out. An unidentified third party targeted Revolut over the weekend, using a legitimate government agency domain to pass the bank’s security checks and request customer information. Information potentially disclosed included names, dates of birth, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers, alongside copies of passports and driving licences.
