Revolut Leaks Passports and Bitcoin Transaction Histories to Fake Government Request

Revolut fulfilled a fraudulent information request sent from a government agency’s own email domain, exposing ID documents and full crypto transaction histories for a limited number of users. The fintech company said the breach affected only a limited number of users, and the incident involved passports and complete Bitcoin transaction histories.

The notable part is the vector: a forged request from a genuine government domain, which turns institutional trust in official email into an attack surface rather than a technical exploit. For crypto users, the exposure is unusually deep — identity documents paired with complete transaction histories create a link between a legal name and on-chain activity that persists regardless of wallet hygiene. Whether such domain-spoofed requests become a recurring pattern across regulated platforms is the open question worth watching.
