The attackers used blockchain analysis to target accounts with significant crypto holdings. Revolut confirmed that the breach did not involve hacking its core infrastructure but resulted from fraudulent requests mimicking a legitimate government agency.

As of now, Revolut has not received any direct ransom demand from the attackers despite their public ultimatum.
