Agi: Revolut, gli hacker chiedono un riscatto da 3 milioni di dollari AGI - Un gruppo di hacker che sostiene di essere responsabile della violazione dei dati di Revolut ha minacciato di vendere ad altre organizzazioni criminali le informazioni riservate di centinaia di clienti, a meno che la banca online britannica non paghi entro 24 ore un riscatto di tre milioni di dollari. Lo riporta il Financial Times. Il gruppo, che si fa chiamare "iamnotavillain", ha pubblicato mercoledì pomeriggio, 16 settembre, l'ultimatum su un sito web, accompagnandolo con un conto alla rovescia digitale. La richiesta pubblica è insolita, dal momento che gli hacker generalmente preferiscono chiedere il riscatto in forma privata e rendere noto l'attacco soltanto se la vittima rifiuta di pagare o di avviare una trattativa, spesso pubblicando i dettagli su un sito del dark web. Il messaggio intima a Revolut di versare "6.000 Xmr, pari a tre milioni di dollari", altrimenti "tutti i dati saranno venduti e avrete il sangue sulle vostre mani". Xmr è la sigla della criptovaluta Monero, utilizzata frequentemente dagli hacker perchè le sue transazioni sono difficili da tracciare. Il gruppo ha dichiarato al Financial Times che è la prima volta che utilizza un sito web per presentare le proprie richieste e che non sono ancora iniziate trattative con Revolut. Gli hacker avevano creato il sito lunedì sera, pubblicando immagini oscurate di alcune delle informazioni che affermano di aver ottenuto dalla banca. Dopo la diffusione dell'ultimatum hanno inoltre inviato al quotidiano britannico un video di 60 secondi nel quale una persona scorre il presunto archivio di documenti sottratti. Nel filmato apparirebbero patenti, passaporti, fotografie utilizzate nelle procedure di verifica dell'identità dei clienti e cronologie delle transazioni. La violazione avrebbe coinvolto almeno 680 conti. Secondo la ricostruzione, gli hacker avrebbero ottenuto i documenti compromettendo un sistema di posta elettronica del governo italiano, utilizzato per presentarsi come appartenenti alle forze dell'ordine e chiedere per diversi mesi informazioni su specifici clienti Revolut. Il gruppo ha affermato di aver selezionato gli obiettivi attraverso l'analisi della blockchain, individuando i conti con ingenti disponibilità in criptovalute. Revolut, hackers demand a $3 million ransom AGI - A group of hackers who claim to be responsible for the breach of Revolut’s data has threatened to sell confidential information of hundreds of clients to other criminal organizations unless the British online bank pays a ransom of $3 million within 24 hours. The Financial Times reports this. The group, calling itself “iamnotavillain,” published the ultimatum on a website Wednesday afternoon, September 16th, accompanied by a digital countdown timer. The public demand is unusual, as hackers generally prefer to ask for ransom privately and only reveal the attack if the victim refuses to pay or negotiate, often publishing details on a dark web site. The message urges Revolut to transfer “6,000 Xmr, equivalent to three million dollars,” otherwise “all data will be sold and you’ll have blood on your hands.” Xmr is the abbreviation for the cryptocurrency Monero, frequently used by hackers because its transactions are difficult to trace. The group told the Financial Times that it is the first time it has used a website to present its demands and that negotiations with Revolut have not yet begun. The hackers created the site Monday evening, publishing obscured images of some of the information they claim to have obtained from the bank. After the ultimatum was released, they also sent the British newspaper a 60-second video in which a person scrolls through the alleged archive of stolen documents. The footage would show driver’s licenses, passports, photographs used in customer identity verification procedures, and transaction histories. The breach involved at least 680 accounts. According to reconstruction, the hackers obtained the documents by compromising an Italian government email system, used to present themselves as belonging to law enforcement agencies and request information on specific Revolut clients for several months. The group said it selected its targets through blockchain analysis, identifying accounts with large cryptocurrency holdings. #Revolut #British #TheFinancialTimes #Monero #theFinancialTimes #first #60-second #Italianhttps://www.agi.it/estero/news/2026-09-16/revolut-hacker-riscatto--39103166/

I'm always curious to see what cyber insurers are doing on coverage for different scenarios. The Revolut incident reportedly has some insurers re-thinking. Matthew Sellers reports: "Most social engineering endorsements are triggered by a transfer of funds, not a transfer of data. A scam where nothing is paid out but a large volume of identity and biometric data leaves the building can fall between a crime policy, built for financial loss, and a data breach policy, often built around unauthorised access rather than a fraudulent-but-convincing request. Brokers reviewing fintech and financial services clients’ wording may want to check whether “fraudulent instruction” definitions extend to information requests, not just payment instructions."

🚨 Revolut is investigating claims that an alleged database containing records linked to 75 million users is being sold on a cybercrime forum. The reported dataset allegedly includes customer information such as: • Partial payment card details • Email addresses • Phone numbers • Device information • Hashed credentials However, there is currently no confirmed evidence of a new breach. Revolut says it has found no signs of unauthorized access to its systems, and researchers have not independently verified the dataset or its claimed size.

📊 Revolut оголосив про делістинг USDT (Tether) з 31 серпня. Клієнтів попередили, що залишки автоматично конвертують у базову валюту. Це рішення банкінг-гіганта з 50 млн+ користувачів — потужний сигнал про регуляторний тиск на стейблкоїни. Великі гравці поступово відмовляються від USDT через ризики, пов'язані з прозорістю резервів і compliance-вимогами. Якщо Revolut — лише перший, ринок стейблкоїнів чекає серйозна перебудова. Історично подібні кроки вели до зростання частки регульованих аналогів (USDC, EURC) та посилення волатильності на перехідному етапі. Для українських інвесторів це нагадування: диверсифікація криптоактивів і розуміння регуляторних ризиків — не параноя, а базова гігієна. USDT зручний, але його майбутнє в Європі під великим питанням після MiCA. #Revolut #USDT #Crypto #Steblecoin #Regulation #Інвестиції #Аналітика #virgroup https://vir.group/post/116861834074940249

Bitte nutzt für Spenden nicht Revolut und anderes Fintech-Gedöhns. Da kommt dann eine E-Mail mit Trackinglinks, anschließend soll ich die Zahlung erst noch annehmen und auswählen, ob das Geld über Revolut, Bankdaten oder Karte laufen soll. Sorry, aber auf so einen Umweg habe ich keine Lust. Für Spenden gibt es bessere Wege - ohne Fintech-Gefrickel und Tracking-Beigeschmack. #Revolut #Fintech #Tracking #Datenschutz /kuk

Korzystacie z #revolut albo #zencom? Mam kartę walutową w internetowym kantorze prowadzonym przez Alior i zastanawiam się czy potrzebuje jednej z powyższych opcji 🤔

#3GoodThings yesterday..🙏🏻💫 ✨ Skipped morning walk at sunrise and slept like 7 hours at last ✨ Received a virtual coffee via #Revolut (https://revolut.me/gyrusinczky) the first support this year ✨ Witnessed the majestic view of beautiful giant clouds lit by the last light after dusk

Oh well... #Santander started charging a monthly account fee on my "free business banking for life" bank account, so I'm switching to another bank. #Revolut looked interesting, offered £100 credit for opening a business account for them. They fell at the first hurdle - in order to open an account with them you need to install an #Android app which refuses to run on a #rooted phone. Time to find a different bank then.

Yahoo Finance | Italy fines Revolut over consumer code breaches Italy’s competition authority has issued penalties totalling more than €11m ($12.6m) against several companies in the Revolut group, citing unfair commercial practices under the Consumer Code. Revolut Securities Europe UAB and Revolut Group Holdings received a €5m fine for violating Articles 20, 21 and 22. The watchdog said customers were not told clearly, at the earliest stage of contact, about extra charges and restrictions linked to “commission-free” investing. It also referred to trading in fractional shares, noting these can differ from full shares in risk profile, investor rights and transferability. A further €5m fine was imposed on Revolut Group Holdings and Revolut Bank UAB. The regulator found the firms’ approach to suspending, limiting or blocking payment accounts to be “aggressive”, while key information about terms and processes was missing or not presented clearly. It said users did not receive adequate pre-contractual details, were not given advance warning before restrictions took effect, and were not offered an opportunity to respond or sufficient support after limits were applied. The regulator added that restricted access to funds and related services, sometimes for long periods, can prevent customers from exercising contractual rights and covering day-to-day needs, including urgent expenses. For this part, the competition authority cited breaches of Articles 20, 21, 22, 24 and 25, adding the conduct could improperly influence decisions made by consumers and microenterprises. Separately, Revolut Group Holdings and Revolut Bank UAB were fined €1.5m for failing to set out clearly the requirements and expected timing for obtaining an Italian IBAN (starting “IT”) instead of a Lithuanian IBAN (starting “LT”). The watchdog said these flouted Articles 20, 21 and 22. "Italy fines Revolut over consumer code breaches" was originally created and published by Retail Banker International, a GlobalData owned brand.
