Revolut Crypto Scam: Fake Government Request Exposes Bitcoin User Data

Key Insights:

• Revolut crypto scam notices list identity records, IBANs, statements, and Bitcoin transaction histories.
• Revolut says systems, account credentials, and customer funds remain unaffected by the incident.
• ZachXBT says the limited exposure may have focused on high-net-worth customers.

Revolut says a sophisticated impersonation attack led it to disclose customer information in response to a fraudulent government data request. The reported Revolut crypto scam surfaced after blockchain investigator ZachXBT shared customer notification texts.

Those notices say the request arrived through a legitimate government agency domain with valid authentication credentials.

ZachXBT described the disclosure through his Investigations channel. His post included email language describing information released to an unauthorized party. The report did not identify individual customers.

Revolut says it blocked the sender after identifying the request as fraudulent. It alerted the agency, police, financial regulators, and data protection authorities. The company says a limited number of customers received notices, while no funds left users’ accounts.
