FT: Revolut Gave Hackers Data on 680 Customers After Fake Government RequestsRevolut disclosed sensitive data on 680 customers after cybercriminals used a legitimate government email account to submit fraudulent information requests, the Financial Times reported. The exposed records included passport details, bank account numbers, home addresses, identity-verification images and Bitcoin activity, with attackers now threatening to publish the data unless a ransom is paid. The UK Information Commissioner’s Office has opened an investigation, while Revolut said it blocked the email account and notified regulators and affected customers. Former Mt. Gox CEO Mark Karpelès was among those affected.
