Revolut has informed some of its Irish customers that their personal data may have been exposed in a new breach. This follows a similar incident earlier this month, marking the second data security alert for the company in a short period. The breach, described as a "third party" incident, could have impacted a number of users, though the exact number remains undisclosed. The company has advised affected customers to monitor their accounts closely and take necessary precautions.
The Irish Data Protection Commission has been notified of the breach, and Revolut is working with authorities to investigate the incident. While the details of how the data was compromised are still under review, the company has emphasized that no financial information was directly accessed. Customers are encouraged to update their passwords and enable two-factor authentication if available.
The breach highlights ongoing concerns about data security in the financial sector, particularly for digital payment platforms. Revolut has not yet provided a timeline for when the issue will be fully resolved. In the meantime, affected users are advised to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activity. The incident underscores the need for continued efforts to protect user data in an increasingly digital world.
