Italy Investigates Email Breach Linked to Revolut Customer Data Leak

Italian cybercrime police have begun investigating a government email account breach linked to a Revolut customer data leak. Hackers reportedly used the compromised accounts to request sensitive customer information from Revolut, including copies of identification documents, selfie verification photos, bank statements, and transaction histories. CoinTelegraph reported that hackers targeted Revolut using government agency email domains, exposing personal details. Some media outlets claimed the breached account belonged to a local government office under Italy's Ministry of Interior in Reggio Calabria, though the agency denied ever contacting Revolut. Revolut has not publicly identified the involved government body but stated it reported the incident to Italian authorities and will cooperate with the investigation. The company affirmed that its systems, databases, and customer funds remain secure.
