Revolut hackers demand $3M in Monero, threaten to leak customer data

Hackers targeting Revolut have escalated their extortion attempt, demanding 6,000 Monero (XMR), worth approximately $3 million, within 24 hours. The attackers threaten to sell the passports, KYC selfies, and transaction records of 680 affected customers to criminal groups if the ransom is not paid. The group, identifying as "iamnotavillain," reportedly gained access by impersonating government officials to bypass internal verification. The UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is investigating the incident.
