Revolut Hacked: Hackers Demand 6,000 XMR as Italy Probes Data Breach
Revolut, the UK-based fintech company, has fallen victim to a hacking incident in which attackers have demanded 6,000 XMR (X Monetary Units) in exchange for restoring access to users' data. The incident occurred after Italy opened an investigation into Revolut's handling of customer information.
The hackers gained unauthorized access to user data, prompting the Italian authorities to launch a probe into Revolut's operations. As part of their demands, the attackers have threatened to release sensitive information unless they receive 6,000 XMR in cryptocurrency.
Revolut has acknowledged the breach and is working closely with law enforcement agencies to resolve the situation. The company has not commented on the specific demands made by the hackers or the potential consequences of non-compliance.
