news-revolut.com is an impersonation phishing page built around the Revolut brand and aimed at Revolut customers. Its domain name and article-style page, titled "Why Revolut Wants to Know So Much About You — And Why Security Comes First", are designed to look like legitimate coverage of the bank's verification practices. PhishDestroy first saw it on 2026-10-06. The site has been offline since 2026-10-17 and was still unreachable when checked on 2026-10-19.
How the scam works
The page title points to the lure. It frames Revolut's identity checks as normal and security-driven, which prepares the reader to hand over personal details without suspicion. Pages like this typically steer visitors from the article to a fake verification or login step that collects Revolut credentials, one-time codes, card data or identity documents. With those, attackers can take over the account, approve transfers or open fraudulent services in the victim's name.
Evidence
Several independent sources flagged this site. On VirusTotal, 15 of 92 engines flagged it on 2026-10-06, including alphaMountain.ai, Bfore.Ai PreCrime, CRDF, Ermes, ESET, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Fortinet and G-Data, so detection came from a broad mix of vendors. Google Safe Browsing classifies it as social engineering, and urlscan.io returned a malicious verdict with Revolut as the detected brand. Spamhaus lists the domain in its DBL as phishing, it appears in two AlienVault OTX pulses, and it is on the PhishDestroy blocklist.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered on 2026-09-11 through Spaceship, Inc., 25 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap fits a domain bought for a single campaign. It was hosted on Namecheap's network in the US. Its Let's Encrypt certificate gave visitors a padlock icon, which only shows the connection was encrypted and says nothing about whether the site was genuine.
What to do
If you entered your Revolut login, passcode or one-time codes on this site, change your passcode immediately and review your linked devices and active sessions in the official Revolut app. If you shared card details, freeze or replace the card in the app and contact Revolut support through the app to check for unauthorized transactions. If you uploaded ID documents, watch for identity misuse. Treat any follow-up calls or messages claiming to be from Revolut security as suspicious. Defenders should block the domain and its hosting IP, search mail and proxy logs for visits since 2026-09-11, and warn staff about article-style lures that use banking brands.
