"We immediately identified and isolated the attack to effectively limit its impact and have contacted those customers affected. Customers who have not received an email have not been impacted" - Revolut.
According to the breach disclosure to the State Data Protection Inspectorate in Lithuania, where Revolut has a banking license, 50,150 customers have been impacted.
In a message to an affected customer, Revolut says that the type of compromised personal data varies for different customers.
As a precaution, Revolut formed a dedicated team tasked with monitoring customer accounts, to make sure that both money and data are safe.
We take incidents such as these incredibly seriously, and we would like to sincerely apologize to any customers who have been affected by this incident, as the safety of our customers and their data is our top priority at Revolut.
Revolut did not explain how or why users received these messages but apologized to reporting customers and said that it was "Addressing the issue and are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again."
