Revolut Hackers Leak High-Profile Data and Demand 10,000 Bitcoin Ransom

Attackers who tricked European fintech Revolut with a forged government data request have begun publishing customer files and demanding a ransom of 10,000 Bitcoin. Revolut confirmed that an unauthorized third party used a legitimate agency email domain to bypass compliance checks, prompting urgent regulatory alerts across the continent. Out here on the Baja coast, the only data leak we care about is the fresh coconut juice dripping down our hammocks, and nobody is paying a ransom in anything other than cold Pacifico pesos.
