A highly-targeted cyberattack on the financial technology company Revolut might have affected
over 50,000 customers.
Impacted customers have received a statement from the company, notifying of the breach,
but unsurprisingly, many were left unsatisfied with this notification.
"I contacted support and asked them which EXACT information of mine was stolen, but
they couldn't answer, all they did was give me the same obscure message of the email."
Revolut claims to have over 20 million users, meaning only zero point sixteen % of their
users were affected by the breach, but these users might have had a variety of their data
exposed.
Revolut claims that “card details were hashed and therefore protected”.
And despite the Reddit comments of Revolut staying quiet, the company assures they have
taken steps to contact and notify the impacted users.
All the communication is handled through emails, so Revolut asks to treat all calls and SMS
messages regarding the breach as a scam.
This warning comes a bit late, as the same time the breach was disclosed, Twitter users
started sharing screenshots of scam messages.
