⚡️🚨 NEW - Revolut handed over customers’ passport copies, verification selfies and full transaction histories to a malicious actor. The actor sent lawful government information-demand emails using a genuine government domain that passed domain authentication. Revolut later concluded they were not authentic. Affected customers were notified on Friday. What may have been disclosed ranges from name, date of birth and home address to account statements, withdrawal records and complete Bitcoin transaction history. The company says it has alerted the agency to the unauthorised mailbox on its domain, blocked the address and begun notifying regulators. It has not named the agency, explained how someone obtained a mailbox there, or given a number of affected customers. ZachXBT, who circulated the notices, believes the incident was limited in size and aimed at high-net-worth users.

The "government domain passed authentication" detail is the real story here — this mirrors the 2021-2022 fake Emergency Data Request fraud that hit Apple, Meta, Discord, and Snap, where attackers compromised actual police/government email systems to submit fraudulent legal requests. Domain authentication (SPF/DKIM) only proves the email came from that mail server, not that
No matter how much they pay, it will never be enough to justify the loss of privscy and security from the affected users
