British fintech company Revolut was hit by a cyberattack earlier this month that compromised some users' personal data.
The incident occurred late on September 11 and Revolut isolated the attack by 2am the next morning. It stemmed from an employee falling victim to a phishing scam through social engineering, allowing a third party to access some of their internal systems.
Approximately 0.16% of Revolut's total customer base had personal information compromised during the attack. Compromised personal data includes names, email addresses, date of birth, phone numbers and mobile device types.
