An official email is not a master key #Shorts

What if an official email could unlock your financial records without proving who sent it? That is what is unsettling about the Revolut case. An unauthorized person submitted fraudulent requests from an address on a government agency’s legitimate domain and obtained customer data. The lesson is not just that someone can impersonate an authority. It is that an official domain does not prove that the request is lawful, that the case is real, or that the sender has the authority to request your data. Revolut has not publicly identified which agency was impersonated or how many people were affected. But the risk is clear: protecting systems is not enough if a human process confuses appearances with authenticity. Sensitive requests need independent verification, limits, and traceability. An official letterhead should not be a master key.
