When even a certified email can be used for fraud: Revolut confirms customer data breach via fake government requests
www.reuters.com · 26d ago · September 17th, 2026
When even a certified email can be used for fraud. When even a bank can fall victim to a scam, perhaps the old advice "check the sender carefully" is no longer enough. Revolut said it has since enhanced its verification procedures for government data requests and is cooperating with law enforcement. This incident underscores the growing sophistication of social engineering attacks targeting financial institutions. Fake government data requests, also known as emergency data requests or EDRs, exploit the trust relationship between platforms and law enforcement. When forged convincingly, they can bypass standard legal process requirements. Financial services firms should audit their data-sharing procedures and implement additional verification steps for inbound legal requests.
