The hacker group iamnotavillain is demanding 6,000 Monero (XMR)—roughly $3 million—from Revolut in exchange for stolen customer data. The ultimatum, posted on a cybercrime site on September 16, includes a 24-hour countdown timer. The hackers threatened to sell the data to other criminal organizations if payment isn't made in time.
Ultimatum and Deadline
The ransom note appeared on September 16, complete with a ticking countdown. Hackers gave Revolut just 24 hours to pay up. The message included a direct threat: if the demands aren't met, the stolen data will be sold off to other bad actors.
"6,000 XMR / $3,000,000... or we sell all the data, and the blood is on your hands," the ultimatum reads.
Ransom Demanded in XMR
The ransom is set at 6,000 Monero (XMR), which the hackers value at about $3 million. If Revolut refuses to pay, the attackers say they're ready to offload the customer data to third parties in the criminal underworld.
What We Know So Far
So far, the public ransom note includes: the demand for 6,000 XMR, an estimated $3 million value, the September 16 publication date, a countdown timer, a 24-hour deadline for payment, and explicit threats to sell the stolen data.
