Summary
Revolut hit with a brazen cyberattack where hackers impersonated Italy’s Ministry of Interior, stealing sensitive data from 680 customers—including passport copies, addresses, and transaction histories—and demanded $3 million in Monero to avoid leaking it on the dark web. The bank admits it fell for the scam, calling it “sophisticated external impersonation fraud,” while victims include even a Dutch singer, Yade Lauren. A chilling video of the stolen data was even sent to media, underscoring the real-world stakes as digital threats grow more complex and costly.
