A cryptocurrency trader said a former Revolut employee tried to extort him by threatening to publish his personal information unless he paid a ransom, an allegation that Revolut has confirmed it reported to law enforcement.
The trader, who posts under the name TraderSZ, wrote in a Thursday post on X that the former employee threatened to disclose his identity and private details and also contacted members of his family. TraderSZ said relatives who used Revolut received messages seeking to pressure him into paying.
TraderSZ posted screenshots he said show exchanges with Revolut’s customer support regarding the incident. Cointelegraph contacted TraderSZ for additional details, including what specific information was accessed and whether a formal complaint had been filed, but did not immediately receive a response.
