Revolut Confirms Sending Passport and Bitcoin Records to Fake Government Email

Revolut has confirmed that fraudsters tricked the platform into handing over customer data, including information that its own notices say covered passports, verification selfies, and Bitcoin transaction records.

The request came from a real government agency email domain and carried valid credentials. Revolut believed it was genuine and released the data. What Revolut Says Happened A Revolut spokesperson told BeInCrypto the bank blocked the sender as soon as it spotted the problem.

“Revolut recently identified a sophisticated external impersonation attack where an unauthorised third party utilised a legitimate government agency domain email to submit fraudulent requests for information… Revolut systems and customer funds are unaffected.” The company says it alerted the agency, the police, and its data protection and financial regulators.

It has contacted what it calls the limited number of people affected. Are Revolut Accounts Secure? Revolut says accounts remain secure. That is true. Passcodes, login details, and biometric data were never exposed, the bank told BeInCrypto. No money moved.
