Revolut has confirmed a significant data breach where sensitive client information was disclosed to unauthorized third parties. The breach occurred after the company was tricked into responding to fraudulent requests sent from an email domain resembling a legitimate government agency. Compromised data includes clients' personal details such as birth dates, email addresses, phone numbers, and copies of identity documents, including passports and driver's licenses. Additionally, there are concerns that the breach may have included verification selfies, account statements, and transaction histories. Revolut stated that the number of affected clients is 'limited' and emphasized that its systems and client funds remain secure.
