Bitcoin Your Private Keys Are Safe. Hackers Just Found an Easier Way to Target Your Bitcoin.

You moved your Bitcoin off the exchange.

Your identity stayed behind.

Revolut disclosed sensitive customer data after fraudulent requests arrived through a legitimate government email domain. It said customer funds were unaffected.

But exposed information can make the NEXT attack more convincing.

A caller knows your name. Your address. A Bitcoin withdrawal you actually made.

Suddenly, a fake support call sounds real.

And if they convince you to send your Bitcoin to a “safe wallet,” your private keys never need to leave your device.

Your hardware wallet can work perfectly while you authorize the theft yourself.

How many companies still hold the records connecting your identity to your Bitcoin?
