I agree with Mark Karpelès. You heard it here first.
> The mentioned government agency has not been identified and other financial institutions or cryptocurrency exchanges could have been misled into disclosing their customer details through the same channel. I believe it is important for Revolut to urgently disclose information about the agency in question (most importantly, which was the email address used), or for the agency itself to come out about this case.
In addition there should be an investigation into criminal negligence in that government agency. But naming and shaming is a good start.
It doesn't absolve Revolut one inch of course. They committed the KYC and they leaked the data. Customer blood is on their hands.
