Hackers breached Italy's state mail to target Revolut crypto clients

  • Hackers obtained data on hundreds of Revolut clients through a breach of Italy's state mail service
  • The attack was carried out over months under the guise of law enforcement officers
  • The targets were large crypto investors — "crypto whales"
Why it matters: The leak of crypto service clients' data raises the risk of targeted phishing and theft from large crypto holders.
