Revolut hacker demands 6,000 XMR, denies initial 10,000 BTC ransom claim

A hacker group identifying as "iamnotavillain" has demanded a ransom of 6,000 XMR (approximately $3 million) following a data breach at Revolut. The attackers set a 24-hour deadline, threatening to sell the stolen customer data to other criminal groups if the payment is not met. The group also denied previous reports claiming they had initially demanded 10,000 BTC, labeling those reports as impersonation. According to the Financial Times, the breach involved the use of fraudulent emails disguised as communications from Italian law enforcement to obtain information.
