I wonder if the additional detail of the demand being XMR is to stigmatize Monero as the "Hackers Currency". We note for example the demand is NOT in Zcash, for example?
🚨BREAKING: Revolut hackers demand $3 MILLION in Monero, setting a 24-hour deadline.
Hackers calling themselves “iamnotavillain” are demanding 6,000 XMR, worth $3 million, threatening to sell stolen customer data if not paid within 24 hours.
The hacker says the data will be sold and that "the blood" will be on Revolut's hands.
