Revolut Exposes Customer Data to Phony Government Requests

Revolut, a UK-based digital banking app, has leaked sensitive customer information to fake government requests. According to reports, the company handed over passport details and Bitcoin transaction histories without verifying the authenticity of the requests.

The incident has raised concerns about data protection and security in the financial sector. Revolut's failure to scrutinize the requests raises questions about its internal controls and procedures for handling sensitive information.

It is unclear how many customers were affected or what measures are being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. However, the incident highlights the importance of robust data protection policies and regular security audits to ensure customer trust.
