Revolut falls victim to social engineering attack

Between September 11 and 12, Revolut was targeted by a sophisticated social engineering attack. The perpetrator used a legitimate government email address to impersonate an authority, tricking the neobank into disclosing sensitive client data. Stolen information included passports, verification selfies, and Bitcoin transaction histories of high-net-worth individuals. The incident highlights the effectiveness of manipulating trust over traditional technical hacking methods.
