Revolut Discloses Data Breach Involving Passports and Bitcoin Transaction Records
The fintech platform mistakenly transferred sensitive customer documents and crypto histories to fraudsters using a legitimate government email address.
Revolut has acknowledged that an external impersonation attack led to the unauthorized release of customer data. Attackers utilized an authentic government agency email domain and valid credentials to submit information requests, which the platform treated as genuine before releasing the files.
According to notifications sent to affected users, the compromised information includes passport scans, driving licenses, home addresses, bank statements, verification selfies, and full records of incoming and outgoing Bitcoin transactions. Revolut stated that login credentials, passcodes, and biometric face templates were not exposed, and that internal accounts and customer funds remained secure.
The incident, highlighted by blockchain investigator ZachXBT, appears to have targeted a small group of high-net-worth users. Revolut confirmed it blocked the sender once the breach was detected, notified relevant data protection and financial regulators alongside law enforcement, and reached out to affected clients. The company declined to identify the government domain involved, citing an ongoing police investigation.
These two are not the same thing, and one does not produce the other. The left is how this single article reads, from its tone alone. The right is the site’s own call on the asset, from indicators and analysis. Press tone feeds no score and no signal: on the only corpus this site has measured, daily tone tracked the move that had already happened and showed no measurable link with what followed.
