Revolut said it has had no direct contact or demand from the people claiming responsibility for a data breach, Reuters reported. The Financial Times reported that attackers threatened to sell confidential records of hundreds of customers unless the company paid a $3 million ransom. A source familiar with the matter said Revolut's core infrastructure, databases and customer accounts were not hacked and about 680 customers were affected.
