Revolut 面临数据泄露后的新压力
几天前披露的数据泄露事件给 Revolut 带来了新的压力。一个自称“iamnotavillain”的团体现在索要 6,000 个门罗币(XMR),价值约 300 万美元,并威胁如果这家金融科技公司不付款,将出售被盗信息。攻击者设定了 24 小时的最后期限。约有 680 名客户受到影响,其中包括几位主要的加密货币持有者。Revolut 表示,他们并未直接收到任何请求。
核心要点
- 攻击者索要 6,000 个 XMR,约合 300 万美元。
- 此次泄露可能影响约 680 名 Revolut 客户。
- Revolut 保证,其核心系统和客户资金未受黑客入侵。
攻击者要求支付 6,000 个门罗币
此案发生在 Revolut 迅速扩展数字资产相关业务的敏感时期。Cointribune 本周详细报道了 Revolut 在稳定币、交易和支付方面的加密业务扩张。此次,该金融科技公司主要面临的是个人数据泄露问题。“iamnotavillain”小组周三在一个带有倒计时的网站上发布了最后通牒。黑客要求支付 6,000 个门罗币,并表示如果 Revolut 在 24 小时内不付款,他们将把文件转交给其他犯罪集团。
Previously, an initial ransom request for 10,000 bitcoins was circulated on Telegram. The authors of the current ultimatum said the amount came from impostors or former associates. Choosing Monero was not surprising. Unlike Bitcoin, where transactions are publicly visible on the blockchain, XMR cryptocurrency is designed to conceal more information about transfers. Revolut said they had no direct contact with the group and had not received any extortion requests through their own channels.
Hackers did not break through Revolut's system
This leak did not stem from a traditional system intrusion. Revolut confirmed on September 12 that sensitive information was transmitted to unauthorized persons after receiving false requests from legitimate government email domain names. Revolut guarantees that no system or customer funds have been compromised.
The attacker reportedly used the Italian certified email system PEC. They pretended to be law enforcement representatives and sent targeted requests to specific customers for months. The leaked information is believed to include dates of birth, postal and email addresses, telephone numbers and copies of passports and driver's licenses. Transaction history and data related to cryptocurrency flows will also be included in the obtained files.
About 680 people were reported to have been affected, mainly in France and Switzerland, but also in dozens of other European countries. Attackers claim they use blockchain analytics to identify customers with significant activity in digital assets. This case is reminiscent of another recent case. In February, a former Revolut employee was accused of using KYC data to pressure a cryptocurrency investor. The core of two different stories is such sensitive information.
Monero is again at the heart of extortion case
The hackers didn't ask for dollars, not even Bitcoin, but wanted XMR cryptocurrency. Monero is designed with privacy as its core function. Several cryptographic mechanisms hide sender and recipient addresses and the amount transferred. This architecture explains why tokens often appear in extortion cases or in payments that authors try to make them difficult to track.
This does not mean that Monero provides perfect stealth. Professional companies have been studying ways to reduce their anonymity for years. Cointerbune reported in 2024 that certain Monero transactions can be traced due to node and IP address analysis. In the Revolut case, the most sensitive issue lies elsewhere: personal data. Passports, full addresses, verification photos and financial history can be maliciously used long after the ultimatum expires. Revolut said it had blocked addresses used for false requests and notified authorities, financial regulators and data protection agencies. Currently, there is no evidence that customer funds have been stolen. The current disclosure requirements are: 6,000 XMRs and 24 hours.
