Revolut disclosed customer and Bitcoin transaction records after a purported government data request

Multiple outlets reported that Revolut disclosed customer information and financial records—including Bitcoin-related transaction histories—to a requester that appeared to be a government agency, after the request was allegedly unauthorized or fraudulent ^{[1] [2] [3]}.

Crypto.news reported that a Revolut customer notice shared on Telegram by on-chain investigator ZachXBT said the disclosure involved customer identities and financial records after Revolut acted on a fraudulent request that appeared to come from a government agency ^[2].

Bitcoin Sistemi attributed to ZachXBT’s channel an account that the incident began when Revolut received a customer information request that appeared legitimate due to use of the agency’s official email domain, which Revolut allegedly accepted after domain verification ^[4].

Crypto Briefing characterized the government request as unauthorized and reported that it included customer data, specifically Bitcoin records, in the disclosed information ^[1].
