Revolut tricked by fake government request, leaking user passports and crypto activity

Someone impersonated a government or law enforcement agency and convinced Revolut to hand over customer data. That data reportedly included passport information and details about users' Bitcoin activity on the platform.

If you use Revolut for crypto or banking, your personal ID and transaction history may have been exposed to people impersonating officials, which increases risk of scams or identity theft targeting you specifically.

If you're a Revolut user, it's worth watching for unusual emails, calls, or login attempts claiming to be from Revolut or government agencies, and enabling extra account security like two-factor authentication if you haven't already. This isn't about your crypto losing value, it's about protecting your identity from potential follow-up scams.
