[Revolut Targeted by Hacker Group for Ransom, Italian Authorities Launch Investigation]
Hacker group IAmNotAVillain demanded that Revolut pay 6,000 XMR (approximately $3 million) within 24 hours, threatening to sell customer data if the demand is not met. Another group, Revolut Smilik, demanded 10,000 Bitcoin (approximately $780 million). A Revolut spokesperson stated that the company has not received any direct contact or ransom demands. Italy's Anti-Mafia and Counterterrorism Bureau has launched an investigation, and Italian prosecutors are investigating unauthorized access to government computer systems. Italy's privacy regulator has urged all banks to urgently review the security of their access systems. (Source: Cointelegraph)
