Revolut Hackers Used Infostealers for Elaborate Social Engineering
Duel’s investigations team says the hacker behind the Revolut incident used compromised Italian government email accounts, infostealer logs, and careful deletion of traces to sustain a five-month fraud campaign. Hudson Rock’s analysis suggests the attacker likely relied on pre-compromised pec.interno.it credentials rather than directly infecting the victims themselves. #Revolut #RevolutBankUAB #pecinternoit #ItalianMinistryoftheInterior #HudsonRock #Duel
