Revolut handed over data to false requests. Allegations point to Italian authorities

SAPO15 September 2026 at 07:00

Revolut confirmed the disclosure of client information to unauthorized third parties. The financial technology company acknowledged that client data was shared improperly.

A new claim links the case to Italian police systems, suggesting that Italian authorities may be involved in obtaining this data illegally.

However, the exact extent of the breach and the specific origin of this alleged intrusion remain unclear, according to available information.

The allegations suggest that the information requests were made fraudulently, presumably exploiting gaps in Revolut's verification processes.

Why this matters

Portuguese Revolut users may have been affected by the unauthorized disclosure of their personal data, raising concerns about the security and privacy of their financial data. The possible connection to Italian police systems suggests that client information may have been accessed by government entities without the knowledge or consent of account holders.
