Revolut Hackers Demand $3 Million in Monero and Threaten to Sell Customer Data

A group claiming to have targeted Revolut customers is demanding $3 million in Monero (XMR) and has threatened to sell customer data, CoinDesk reported on September 16, 2026. The group reportedly gave the financial platform 24 hours to make the payment and said it focused on customers holding significant amounts of cryptocurrency. Revolut said it had not received any direct contact from the individuals. The available information does not establish whether the group obtained customer data or whether Revolut will respond to the demand. The ransom request puts Monero, a cryptocurrency often associated with transaction privacy, at the center of the incident, although no information was provided about any payment or transfer involving XMR.
