Important updates on @Revolut and what you can do: 1. According to the group now extorting Revolut, and to the Duel team in contact with them, the attackers took over Italian government and law enforcement mailboxes with an infostealer, sent Revolut Bank UAB in Lithuania a forged European Investigation Order (to attention of @Eurojust @Europol ) in the name of the Italian authorities, and kept sending requests for five months. 2. Revolut answered every one, as @FATFNews and EU AML laws require. Now scale this abuse a thousand times, in the hands of authoritarian states and their proxies, who do not seek attention like these hackers and quietly collect data on citizens and entities of the EU and other Western countries. 3. The attackers claim to hold 147 GB from the Italian side, including internal documents and officer chat logs, and say most of the Revolut data concerns customers in Switzerland, France and Hungary, with other countries affected. Passports and KYC selfies of named individuals are now being published daily until Revolut pays. We are collecting witness statements to push for remedies. If you are a legal or security expert and want to support our team, DM me. What you as an EU citizen can do today to limit these attacks in the future: 1. Contact your MEP on @EP_Economics, @EP_Legal or @EP_Justice and ask for an urgent joint hearing on the weaponisation of mass data collection and a reassessment of the whole approach, before the next leak names someone who does not have the means to move house. 2. Use this argument: every bank, exchange and payment provider in every jurisdiction that follows FATF rules, and the AML, financial and national security laws built on them, is exposed the same way, because the rules oblige them to answer state requests and nobody is required to check whether the state behind the request is who it claims to be. That is what human rights groups, victims and experts with support of @ODFoundation described to the European Parliament three years ago, proposing specific remedies. The @EU_Commission and the @EUCouncil removed every safeguard the @Europarl_EN adopted from the AML Regulation. 3. You want politicians care more about privacy and digital rights protection? Support and promote the MPs and MEPs who pushed for remedies. Demand accountability for rejected remedies by Commission and Council. This year the European Parliament, under @HNeumannMEP @petras_petras @NachoSAmor leadership , named this risk transnational financial repression in its resolution of 18 June 2026. @coe adopted Resolution 2669 on 25 June, rapporteur @constantinosefs , with @MarkusWiechel pushing specifically for an investigation into transnational financial repression and remedies against it. The @oscepa followed in The Hague in July, led by @emmedibi , with an even more detailed focus on exactly these attacks.
