Revolut discloses data breach exposing financial info, passports
-
Revolut has disclosed a data breach after an attacker impersonating a government agency gained access to customer data belonging to an undisclosed number of users. The fintech company shared the information with the threat actor before the impersonation was detected.
The exposed data includes financial information and passport details, according to the disclosure. Revolut has not publicly specified how many customers are affected or which regions were impacted.
At this stage, the company has not released a specific CVE identifier, advisory number, or a detailed list of indicators of compromise related to the incident.
Affected individuals should monitor their accounts for suspicious activity and be alert to phishing attempts referencing the leaked data, as stolen passport and financial details can be used for identity fraud. Revolut customers are advised to watch for unexpected communications claiming to be from the company or government bodies.
