Executive Summary
AI-generated
A massive outage disrupted most of Revolut's services worldwide on Tuesday morning, affecting 28 services including sign-ins, card payments, transfers, currency exchange, stock trading, and live support chat. The company stated that customers' data and funds are safe, but thousands of users reported issues with the app and mobile banking services on Downdetector. This incident is linked to ongoing service disruptions at Google Cloud's London-based europe-west2 data center after a "power event." Revolut previously disclosed two data breaches: one in September 2022 when threat actors stole personal information from over 50,000 customers, and another last month when personally identifiable information was shared with a threat actor impersonating a government agency.
