### Buy exclusion of your data

Contact: or use the Session button below. 
Revolut got a report about a user database. They ignored it, so we are exposing them for failing to keep user information secure, and for sending data from a different jurisdiction. 
We have everything, including KYC documents, address, phone number, email, bank accounts, and fiat and crypto transactions. 
An impersonator and scammer who used to work with us took a small sample we handed him and is now claiming the breach as his. That cut is not the full set. Revolut and the other companies sent the data to us. He did not do this. We can prove it: the originals, the volume, the conversations, and the companies that sent it.…

If your organisation is affected

A listing by IAMNOTAVILLAIN means Italy (government/institutions) appeared on a ransomware extortion site and is being pressured to pay before any publication. If this is your organisation, or a supplier you depend on, the priority is to confirm the intrusion and contain it before the window to act closes.

  • Engage your incident-response team and preserve forensic evidence before remediating — do not wipe affected systems first.
  • Force a password reset and revoke active sessions for exposed accounts; rotate any credentials, API keys or certificates that may have been in the stolen data.
  • Assess regulatory notification duties (GDPR, NIS2, sector regulators) — many carry a 72-hour reporting clock from awareness.
  • Report the incident to your national CERT, CSIRT Italia (Italy), as required for your jurisdiction.
  • Monitor for the data appearing on IAMNOTAVILLAIN's leak site and across paste and breach channels, and brief downstream partners who may be exposed through you.

How we know this. Darkfield monitors public ransomware leak sites continuously, archiving every new disclosure and the data later released against the victim. Each entry on this page is sourced from the operator's own publication and cross-checked against complementary OSINT feeds (RansomLook, ransomware.live, RansomWatch). We do not collect or host stolen data — only the metadata, timestamps and screenshots needed to make the public disclosure searchable and accountable. Records here are corrected when the original post is edited, retracted, or merged with another disclosure.
