Revolut confirms sensitive customer data breach

Recently, Revolut has come to the attention as being a 'dodgy' so called banking company with regards to its deliberately lax security where this has been explained in the the article:

Warning! Revolut wins Australian banking licence. Don't use it as it's not safe nor secure!

On the 13th of September 2026, Reuters has reported that Revolut has experienced a data breach.

This comes as no surprise, as a result of Revolut's appalling attitude towards customer security, where at the end of the business day, it's not the owners that will suffer but rather the customers.

Revolut's data breach is as a result of their negligence towards their customers data security, where the business should be shut down, but in reality this will not occur, as it's all about 'the economy'.

If ANY Australians are involved in this corporation, it could be for their benefit to withdraw any and all monies from this clown show.
