Revolut says it has confirmed a breach involving customers’ sensitive data. The company reports that the incident occurs after it responds to fraudulent, purported government requests, which led it to disclose or mishandle information.
Revolut says it has notified affected customers and alerted the relevant government agency, law enforcement, and financial regulators. Both outlets describe the breach as tied to the use of impersonated government communications rather than a direct public-facing cyberattack.
While the reports are aligned on the overall cause and the follow-up actions, they differ mainly in emphasis and wording: one outlet frames the breach as “through fake government requests,” while the other highlights that Revolut “falls for” those requests. The coverage does not provide additional publicly verified details on the scale of the incident or the specific data elements affected.
