Unknown hackers have dumped identity documents and selfies belonging to Revolut customers online. The attackers are threatening to release fresh batches of user data every day until the fintech company coughs up a ransom.
What We Know So Far
The hackers claim the leaked files belong to Revolut customers. They're demanding a payout and say they're ready to keep leaking new data daily to ramp up the pressure. Right now, there aren’t many details—no word on how much data is compromised, what the ransom terms are, or any specific deadlines.
What’s at Stake for Customers
Leaked IDs and selfies crank up the risk of identity fraud and targeted phishing. Bad actors could use this info for social engineering, breaking into other accounts, or spinning up convincing scam messages that look legit.
How to Protect Yourself
While this story unfolds, here’s how to lock down your security basics:
- Double-check emails and messages—don’t click sketchy links.
- Update your passwords and avoid reusing them across different sites.
- Turn on two-factor authentication wherever you can.
