Hackers Claim Italian Government Email Breached, Targeting Revolut 'Crypto Whales'

A hacker group has claimed to have infiltrated Italy's government email system and obtained confidential data belonging to hundreds of customers. The group alleged that they accessed this information over several months by posing as law enforcement. According to the claim, the attackers took over Italian government email accounts, introduced themselves as law enforcement officers, and collected confidential information belonging to Revolut customers. It was stated that among the targeted individuals were high-volume cryptocurrency holders described as 'crypto whales'. While the data in question is said to belong to hundreds of customers, it was alleged that the hacker group carried out this operation over a period spanning months. The incident highlights the complexity of cyber threats against financial institutions and the risk of government systems being misused. No official statement has yet been made by Revolut or Italian authorities regarding the matter. Cybersecurity experts warn that such attacks could have serious consequences for customer security and data privacy. Not investment advice.
