Fintech company Revolut has confirmed a data breach after attackers reportedly used fraudulent government-style requests to gain access to customer information, according to reporting this week. Details on the exact scope remain limited, and Revolut has not yet disclosed the precise number of affected customers.
The incident adds to a string of social-engineering-driven breaches across fintech and banking platforms in recent years, where attackers increasingly rely on impersonating official channels rather than exploiting technical vulnerabilities directly. Revolut says it is investigating and has taken steps to contain the exposure, and is contacting affected customers directly.
