Reports say Revolut hackers leaked customer KYC data and demanded ransom payments, including 10,000 BTC

Sep 14, 2026By ClusterWire.news· AI-assisted news brief

Reports say hackers have released personal identification documents and verification selfies belonging to Revolut users and are using the data release as extortion to demand ransom payments while threatening to escalate daily [1].

One report also says the exposed information includes personal details, financial transaction logs, and cryptocurrency activity records [1].

Another report states that the attackers were reportedly demanding 10,000 BTC and threatening to leak stolen customer data, citing an X post that included a screenshot said to show redacted KYC material linked to Felix Römer [2].

A separate report similarly describes an escalating data breach and says attackers have begun to share personal data and ask for money to prevent more leaks from Revolut [3].

That same report additionally describes leaked categories including identity documents, verification selfies, statements, and Bitcoin transaction records [4].

One account attributes the incident to a fraudulent email impersonating a government authority to submit fake data requests [1].
