If someone stores your data, they'll always be hunted for it. The Revolut attack is a harsh reminder of the risks of centralized platforms. When you rely on third parties, you create a honeypot of sensitive data.
No information shared = no risk of it leaking.
That's why we built Trezu as non-custodial infrastructure, to eliminate this risk. There's no central database of sensitive info to hack or request.
⚠️ ALERT: Revolut falls for a FAKE government request, exposing sensitive personal information of customers in a disturbing data breach.
Revolut disclosed that it complied with a fraudulent government request using a spoofed official email and valid credentials, exposing PII belonging to a group of customers.
The leaked data reportedly includes passports/driving licences, verification selfies, names, DOBs, occupations, home addresses, emails, phone numbers, IBANs, account statements and full transaction histories, including Bitcoin activity.
No customer funds were reportedly lost and Revolut says its systems were not hacked.
The company has notified affected users and regulators and blocked the source.
Social-engineering attacks are on the rise, with attackers increasingly exploiting human trust and weak verification processes rather than technical vulnerabilities.
