Revolut Duped by Fake Government Request, Exposing Bitcoin Activity and Passports

Digital Bank Says Fraudulent Request Exposed Customer Personal Data

A digital bank said Saturday that a fraudulent request was mistakenly treated as legitimate, resulting in the disclosure of customer personal information. No customer funds were lost, according to the firm.

Exposed Information

The data handed over included passport details, selfies and home addresses, the bank said. The disclosure involved sensitive identity information rather than access to customer funds.

No Funds Reported Stolen

The firm said the incident did not result in any loss of customer money. It did not provide further details about the fraudulent request or the number of customers affected.
