Revolut to Cover Affected Customers' ID Updates
Revolut, a London-based company and one of Europe's most valuable startups, announced that it will cover the costs of updating identification documents for customers who were affected by a fraudulent attack that resulted in the data of hundreds of clients being leaked to hackers. The company explained that the incident compromised 680 customers, including 55 in France, and that it will assist clients with replacing their identification documents if necessary, without specifying the extent of the costs or whether the customers have already done so. The company also noted that its systems were not breached; however, it emphasized that government agencies often represent the weakest link in data exchange systems. The incident occurred after data was sent to an email address belonging to the Italian police in Reggio Calabria, which was exploited by hackers. Additionally, the company confirmed that it will not pay any ransom to the hackers and that it has provided aid to the affected individuals within the framework of legal procedures.
