Revolut Confirms Fake Government Email Exposed Passports And Bitcoin Records

Revolut confirmed that a fake government email tricked it into handing over customer files that included passports, selfies and Bitcoin records, while saying systems and customer funds were unaffected. According to BeInCrypto, the bank said it blocked the sender after spotting the issue and notified the agency, police and data protection and financial regulators. The notices to customers said the leak also included driving licences, home addresses and bank statements, and that only biometric facial telemetry was excluded. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT flagged the breach, which Revolut said affected a limited number of users.
