## Revolut's Disruption and the DriveWealth Breach

Our engineering team is actively working to restore full service as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused."

Revolut suffered two data breaches that affected customers last month. On September 14, the fintech company told some customers that copies of their passports and driving licenses, along with their dates of birth, home addresses, email addresses and phone numbers, were handed to criminals. Revolut said an "unauthorised third party" used an email domain from a legitimate government agency to submit "fraudulent requests for information". The company did not say how many people were affected or where they live; it was reported at the time that around 700 customers globally were impacted, with around 12 of those based in Ireland.

On September 24, Revolut customers in Ireland were among those impacted by a data breach at a third-party provider. [DriveWealth](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/0000cqj/drivewealth), a US broker that carries out US stock trades for Revolut customers, said a security incident affecting its systems involved unauthorised access to historical personal data of some DriveWealth customers. DriveWealth said the data that may be impacted includes customer profile data such as name, email address, phone number, postal address and employment information, as well as biographical data such as country of citizenship, age and gender, and partial DriveWealth account numbers.
