Revolut has suffered a data breach caused by a phishing attack on an employee, exposing sensitive customer data including identity documents, but claims only a limited number of customers are affected and that customer funds remain safe.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your fintech platform’s security just got a harsher test from phishing attacks that bypassed internal controls. You need to tighten employee email defences now or risk losing customer trust and facing regulatory scrutiny.
