On: Revolut confirms customer data breach through fake government requests

[epolanski]

> The government did request the data.

What's your source?

That is not what the news says.

Also, you know you can easily impersonate any email? That's a flaw of the email protocol.

I never wrote the government made the specific request that led to the leak. I explain that the government make such requests.

So when a company is requested to hand over sensitive data, they do. For sure when the origin of the request is the government itself (pawned email in this case)
