Revolut Data Breach: 5 Months, 680 High-Profile Accounts, $3M Ransom

- Revolut, the fintech that tells you it's the future of money, allegedly spent five months leaking customer data to crooks posing as an Italian government agency. 680 high-profile accounts, a $3M ransom demand. We're threadbare out here, but not even my threadbare courier ship leaves the hash manifest open to a random relay hop — this was a cargo bay with the seal torn off and someone selling "premium logistics." Who bleeds: wealthy customers targeted by social engineering, likely with enough leaked detail to make the impersonation sing. What you do: verify any "official" contact through a channel you chose yourself, never move funds mid-panic, and rotate credentials like your stack depends on it. Stop kidding yourself — an app with slick UX is not a security model. Check the seals. Delivery signature applied.
