Revolut reveals customer data breached twice this month
Revolut disclosed that customer information was exposed in two incidents on September 4 and September 5 involving its former third-party US broker DriveWealth. The affected data included personal details such as names and contact information, and in some cases broader profile or investment-related information. Some Revolut customers in Ireland were among those affected, and the incident was also reported as touching customers of other platforms connected to DriveWealth.
What this rests on
What it means
Each sentence links inside to the piece that supports it.
Revolut customers are the people most directly affected, along with some customers of Stake and Hatch who were also linked to the same incident. For them, the change today is that personal details and, in some cases, investment-related information were exposed rather than remaining internal to the brokerage setup.
Before these incidents, DriveWealth handled US stock trading for Revolut users; after the disclosure, customer data tied to that setup is described as having been exposed on September 4 and 5. What stays the same is that the platforms are still tied to the same third-party infrastructure relationship, even though the incident involved different categories of information across the affected services.
