Revolut tricked into handing hackers the passports and Bitcoin histories of wealthy customers

Reports say attackers socially engineered Revolut support staff into disclosing sensitive information, including passports and Bitcoin transaction histories, associated with wealthy customers. The incident highlights how human-targeted manipulation can bypass security controls even at major financial platforms. Exposed identity and crypto-asset data could enable targeted phishing, account takeovers, extortion, or physical threats, underscoring the need for stronger verification and privacy protections for Bitcoin users.
