CodeGO Group Launches an All-in-One Payment App with IBANs, Cards, and Crypto Euro Conversions.

The app makes it easy for anyone to open a personal or corporate European IBAN bank account with any entity worldwide.

Most of the files contained routine employment information, including surnames, first names, and work email addresses.

Some documents, however, may also have exposed bank details in IBAN format, along with sensitive medical information about employees' periods of sick leave.

The city authorities learned of the breach following an urgent alert from the National Cyber Incident Response Team, CERT.

Municipal IT specialists quickly closed the security gap, working alongside experts from Austria's Direktion Staatsschutz und Nachrichtendienst, DSN.

The city says it will notify everyone whose personal information was compromised by individual letter.

If you receive such a notice, there is certainly no need to rush to the bank and close your current account.

Possession of an IBAN alone does not allow anyone to withdraw your money.

You should, however, be especially vigilant online.

Oh

... uh, as well as financial information such as account statements, full transaction history, including Bitcoin, withdrawal records, uh, IBAN, account status, wallet reference numbers, and account opening dates.

However, no...

When, when we say, um, uh, facial verification images, uh, that does not include, like, biometric facial telemetry and stuff, so it's just the images, the actual photos.

I think if you take a step back to your end consumer, so not the fintech or the non-financial brand, it all looks and feels the same.

You have an account number, you have an IBAN, you have payments, and both the bank and the EMI can offer that.

An EMI is effectively offering custody of funds, and a bank is accepting a deposit, and those are fundamentally different things.

What it comes down to when you're a founder or you're working a non-financial brand and you want to embed a financial product is how much you want to do and how much heavy lifting you want on your side versus the amount of control you get.

You know, that's one positive.

Financial data was also released, including account statements, which included the IBAN, the account status, opening date, wallet reference number, withdrawal records, and full transaction history, including Bitcoin.

So you could imagine if you wanted to steal someone's identity, this would be very good information to have.

You've got their identity document.

Are and are not available sounds a bit odd.

What am I saying that I'm talking about banking as an example if you've had to deal with a large what you have a requirement to make payments in multiple countries and You need to make them on a timely basis and you need to make them on a cost-efficient basis because you're paying out lots of claims for example Every country, obviously you can wire transfer through SWIFT and IBAN, but that's expensive and takes time.

Pretty much every country has their own local little payment system.

So, and everyone's different because they're small and local.

The fraudulent request came from a legitimate government agency domain and carried valid technical credentials, so Revolut treated it as authentic.

Exposed data included names, contact details, dates of birth, occupations, passport and driver's license copies, verification selfies, IBANs, account statements, withdrawal records, and full transaction histories, including Bitcoin activity.

Revolut blocked the sender and notified the affected agency, law enforcement, data protection authorities, and financial regulators.

The company says its systems and customer funds were not compromised.

... quite a bit worse.

So according to the email, uh, the exposed data covers, get, um, wait, get ready for this, a copy of your passport or driving license, plus a verification selfie of you holding said document Your full name, your date of birth, your occupation, your home address, your email and your phone number, your IBAN account details, your account statements, withdrawal records, full transaction history including Bitcoin.

Yeah, let that fucking sink in.

That is absolutely just leaves me lost for words.
