BTC Revolut leaked customers 'passports and Bitcoin transaction records due to false government requests.
Online investigator ZachXBT disclosed earlier today that Revolut disclosed highly sensitive personal and financial information to some customers after receiving a seemingly real government request. The company then sent emails to affected users, admitting that the leaked records included passports, verification selfies, addresses and a complete Bitcoin transaction history.
Details of the leaked content
Based on an email sent to customers exposed by ZachXBT on its Telegram page, Revolut explained that it had received an information request that appeared to come from a legitimate government agency. The company pointed out that the sender did not just forge a seemingly official email address, but used an unauthorized but actual domain name account belonging to the government agency to send the mail and carried valid domain authentication credentials.
Revolut believed the request was legal and compliant at the time, so it complied with the requirements. The information disclosed may include the full names, dates of birth, occupations, home addresses, email addresses and telephone numbers of some customers. More sensitive information includes copies of passports and/or driver's licenses, as well as self-portraits provided by customers during the verification process. According to the company, the good news is that the biometric facial telemetry data itself has not been compromised.
However, the company acknowledged that it had provided financial information, including account statements containing International Bank Account Numbers (IBAN), account opening dates and wallet reference numbers, as well as withdrawal records and complete transaction history, including BTC transaction records.
As of now, Revolut has not publicly mentioned the name of the government agency involved, and the notices sent to customers do not state whether passwords, private keys or funds were accessed.
Targeting high net worth users?
The online detective described the incident as "potentially limited in scale" because the attackers appeared to focus only on high-net-worth users. However, this has not been independently confirmed or confirmed by Revolut itself. In addition, the company has not disclosed the specific number of customers affected.
Given the information available as of press time, this incident appears more like an unauthorized disclosure than a direct breach of Revolut's infrastructure. The company itself directed governments and law enforcement agencies to submit formal information requests through dedicated channels.
