Revolut Hackers Demand $3 Million in Monero, Set 24-Hour Deadline

Hackers claiming responsibility for a data breach involving fintech company Revolut are seeking a $3 million ransom payable in Monero (XMR), according to Coinpedia. The group has reportedly given Revolut 24 hours to make the payment. It also threatened to sell the allegedly stolen customer data to other criminals if the company does not comply. The claims have not been independently verified in the supplied report. Revolut’s team said the company had never received …, but the available source material ends before providing the rest of that statement. The report does not include details about the number of customers potentially affected, the alleged information involved, or any on-chain payment activity. No information was provided on whether Revolut accepted the ransom demand or whether law enforcement agencies were investigating. The incident places Monero, a privacy-focused cryptocurrency, at the center of the alleged extortion attempt.
