Revolut Exposes Customers' Data in Phishing Scam

Financial services company Revolut exposed its customers' sensitive data and Bitcoin transaction histories after receiving a fake government request, according to reports.

The incident occurred when Revolut's compliance team received an email claiming to be from a UK law enforcement agency, requesting access to customer information and transaction records.

The company reportedly complied with the request, providing the requested data, which included customers' bank account numbers, addresses, and Bitcoin transaction histories. However, it later emerged that the email was a phishing scam, and Revolut's actions have been criticized for compromising customer trust and security.
