Hackers Threaten to Sell Revolut Customer Data Unless $3M Ransom Paid

A hacking group calling itself iamnotavillain has publicly threatened Revolut with a 24-hour countdown, demanding a ransom of 6,000 Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency worth roughly $3 million. The group claims to hold stolen data belonging to approximately 680 Revolut customer accounts and says it will sell this information to other criminal groups if the payment is not made.

The use of Monero, which is harder to trace than Bitcoin, is a common choice for extortion groups seeking to avoid detection. If the claims are accurate, affected customers could face increased risk of identity theft, phishing, or fraud if their data is sold and circulated among criminal networks.

At this stage, details about how the alleged breach occurred and whether Revolut will confirm the incident remain unclear. Businesses and individuals who use Revolut or similar financial platforms should stay alert for official communications and be cautious of any suspicious follow-up contact referencing account details.
