Italian Postal Police Investigate Revolut Customer Data Breach
Authorities are examining how a request for customer information was sent from what appeared to be a legitimate police email address, ANSA reported.
Italy's postal police have opened an investigation into a data breach affecting customers of the digital bank Revolut, according to a report by the Italian news agency ANSA.
The inquiry centers on a request for customer information that reportedly originated from an email address that appeared to belong to a legitimate law enforcement account, ANSA said, citing details of the case.
ANSA's report did not specify how many customers may have been affected, when the request was sent, or how the potential misuse of the email address was discovered. It was also not immediately clear whether any customer funds or additional personal data beyond what was requested had been compromised.
Revolut, a UK-based financial technology company that offers banking and payment services across Europe, has not yet issued a public statement on the matter as reported by ANSA.
The postal police unit, which handles cybercrime and online fraud cases in Italy, is continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding the request, according to the report. Further details on the scope of the investigation and any potential suspects have not been disclosed.
