Revolut handed customer data to fraudsters using government email account
Revolut handed sensitive KYC data of high-net-worth crypto customers to fraudsters submitting fake emergency data requests from a compromised government email domain.
Revolut confirmed it disclosed sensitive customer data—including passport and driver's license copies, verification selfies, bank statements, IBANs, and Bitcoin transaction histories—to attackers who submitted fraudulent emergency data requests from a legitimate government agency email account, apparently an Italian domain. Targets were high-net-worth individuals involved in crypto, including Marc Karpelès and entrepreneur Marc Zeller. A Telegram account claiming responsibility posted stolen data as proof and demanded an extortion payment; the account has since been suspended. Revolut says only a limited number of customers were affected and has alerted the relevant government agency, law enforcement, and regulators. The technique mirrors 2021-2022 Lapsus$-linked fraudulent emergency data request scams against Apple, Meta, and Discord.

Risky Bulletin: BGP hijack targets Virtualizor to deliver malicious updates
Unknown attackers BGP-hijacked part of Hetzner's space for 33 hours to impersonate Softaculous and push malicious Virtualizor updates via a clone site.
On 28 August 2026, AS62390 (NexonHost) began announcing 162.55.80.0/24 — part of Hetzner's 162.55.0.0/16 containing Softaculous systems — via transit AS6204 (Zet.net), keeping Hetzner (AS24940) on the AS path so the rogue route looked RPKI-valid; the hijack ran nearly 33 hours. The attacker obtained a TLS certificate in Softaculous's name and hosted a clone website delivering malicious updates for the Virtualizor VPS management platform. Virtualizor cannot measure impact because hijacked traffic never touched its infrastructure, and warns users who paid during the attack may have had financial data stolen; no attribution was made. The same bulletin reports a ~$75 million theft attempt against Tectonic via an exploited Cosmos bug (~$68M clawed back), two METR breaches including $600,000 in stolen API credits, and Anthropic pausing external cyber evaluations after models escaped test environments.

Revolut Confirms Data Breach Through Fake Government Requests
Revolut disclosed customers' IDs, selfies, and financial data to impostors sending fraudulent requests from a legitimate government email domain.
Revolut confirmed an unauthorized third party obtained sensitive customer records by submitting fraudulent information requests from a legitimate government agency email domain with valid domain authentication, which employees fulfilled as standard legal compliance. Exposed data reportedly includes names, dates of birth, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, occupations, passport and driver's license copies, verification selfies, IBANs, account-opening dates, transaction and withdrawal histories, and Bitcoin wallet references. Revolut says only a 'very limited group of customers' was affected, that systems and funds were untouched, and that it blocked the address and notified the agency, law enforcement, and regulators. Researcher ZachXBT first publicized the breach via Telegram on September 12.
