Italy investigates government email breach linked to Revolut data leak

Italian authorities are investigating a government email breach linked to the leak of Revolut customer data after hackers allegedly used the compromised account to obtain sensitive customer information.　　Polizia Postale, Italys cybercrime police, is investigating the incident for alleged unauthorized access to a computer system and computer fraud, Italian news agency ANSA reported on Tuesday.　　Some Italian media reports identified the compromised account as belonging to the Prefecture of Reggio Calabria. The agency later denied sending requests to Revolut, according to ANSA.　　Revolut declined to identify the government agency whose email was allegedly compromised and used to obtain customer data, citing an active police investigation and confidentiality obligations.　　“We reported this to the Italian authorities upon detection and will assist them as needed,” a Revolut spokesperson told Cointelegraph, adding that the companys systems, databases and customer funds remained secure.　　The compromised government email account was reportedly part of Italy‘s Posta Elettronica Certificata (PEC) system, a certified email service that gives messages the same legal value as registered mail. Italy’s CERT-AGID cybersecurity agency warned in June that PEC certifies delivery but does not guarantee the security of a messages content.　　The agency said it had handled more than 650 cases involving abused or illicit PEC accounts since

The Standard Chartered Effect: Is bank research becoming cryptos new short-term catalyst？

Standard Chartered initiated coverage on Arbitrums ARB token on the morning of Sept. 15 with a $10 price target for 2030. That implies roughly 70 times upside from a token trading near $0.13 and down about 1% over the prior 24 hours.　　Related Asset Arbitrum #58 ARB · $0.16 24-hour change: up 17.67% Loading price history… 24H Up 17.67% 7D Down 7.23% 30D Up 112.74%　　In the same session, ARB gained up to 9%, Bitcoin fell around 4%, and Ethereum fell 5.74% once the Senate failed to advance the CLARITY Act on a 49-50 vote.　　A token moving against the broader market on the same day a bank initiates coverage is the kind of signal that turns an anecdote into something testable.　　Related Company Standard Chartered A consumer banking corporation　　The more interesting question is whether Standard Chartereds digital asset research desk has built enough credibility and distribution that publishing a note has become a tradable event in its own right.　　Standard Chartered stages a thesis built on tokenized finance　　Standard Chartereds target moves through intermediate steps, from $0.50 in 2026 to $1.50 in 2027, $3.50 in 2028, $6.50 in 2029 and $10 by the end of 2030.　　The underlying case rests on Arbitrum becoming infrastructure for tokenized

UK banks keep crypto limits as FCA regime nears

UK banks have retained widespread restrictions on payments to cryptocurrency exchanges as the Financial Conduct Authority prepares to open its new crypto authorization gateway on Sept. 30.　　The Financial Conduct Authority has published new guidance to help crypto businesses identify whether their activities will require authorization when the full UK regulatory framework begins on Oct. 25, 2027. The application period is scheduled to run from Sept. 30, 2026, through Feb. 28, 2027.　　The rules bring activities including qualifying stablecoin issuance, crypto trading platforms, custody, dealing, arranging transactions and staking inside the UKs financial-services regulatory framework. Existing registration under anti-money-laundering rules will not automatically convert into authorization under the new system.　　Bank payment restrictions sit outside that authorization process. The new framework sets standards for crypto businesses but does not introduce a crypto-specific requirement compelling retail banks to accept payments destined for exchanges.　　9 of Top 10 UK Retail Banks Block or Limit Crypto Transactions　　UK retail banks will not be forced to lift blanket restrictions on payments routed to cryptocurrency exchanges even after the Financial Conduct Authoritys (FCA) comprehensive crypto regulatory regime takes effect in… pic.twitter.com/Zc2THLXHN6　　— Wu Blockchain (@WuBlockchain) September 16, 2026　　UK banks continue imposing crypto payment limits　　Restrictions differ considerably across British banks, ranging from

Ripple News: What Does the CLARITY Act Setback Mean for XRP？

In Ripple news today, the US Senate voted 49-50 on September 15, 2026, against invoking cloture on the motion to proceed to the CLARITY Act, falling 11 votes short of the 60 needed to advance the crypto market-structure bill.　　Ripple Chief Legal Officer Stuart Alderoty responded on X the same day, telling XRP holders not to lose sight of the tokens existing legal position despite the setback.　　Dont forget – Ripple and XRP stand on settled ground. The 2023 federal Court ruling established XRP is not a security.　　And in March the SEC and CFTC issued a joint interpretation naming XRP a digital commodity. SEC Chairman Atkins and a CFTC Chairman Selig understand these… https://t.co/63ML5xmbAP　　— Stuart Alderoty (@s_alderoty) September 15, 2026　　This is not simply a bill stalling in procedure. In Ripples framing, it separates the fate of comprehensive federal crypto regulation from the narrower question of where XRP already stands under existing law.　　Alderoty argued that the vote‘s outcome does not reopen or alter XRP’s legal footing, pointing to a 2023 federal court ruling and more recent regulatory guidance as the basis for that position.　　(SOURCE: TradingView)　　CLARITY Act News: What Does the Failed Cloture Vote Actually Mean？　　The 49-50 result was a procedural vote on whether

WikiBit Exchange Exit Risk Ranking #26: Biconomy — The “Compliant Exchange” on Canada’s Blacklist, as the “High-Risk Exchange Club” Continues to Expand!

Introduction: A “Self-Proclaimed” Compliant Exchange　　In the first 25 editions, we investigated a series of exchanges ranging from HashKey to CoinEx. For the 26th edition, we are taking a closer look at one of the most confusing cases in terms of identity — Biconomy.com.　　First, lets clear up one thing: there are two “Biconomy” projects in the crypto industry.　　One is Biconomy.io, a Web3 cross-chain infrastructure protocol. It has a publicly identified team, legitimate financing, investment from Coinbase Ventures, and backing from Polygons COO. It has nothing to do with exchange operations.　　The other is Biconomy.com, which describes itself as a “global cryptocurrency exchange,” was established in 2019, and operates through the biconomy.com domain.　　The subject of todays investigation is the latter.　　On paper, its profile sounds impressive: “registered with the Securities Commission Malaysia,” “US MSB + Canadian FINTRAC MSB registrations,” “serving more than 1 million traders worldwide,” “independent third-party custody,” and “support for Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) deposits and withdrawals.”　　Sounds like the typical setup of a “regulated Southeast Asian crypto exchange,” right？　　But there is another side to the story.　　On April 5, 2024, the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) in Canada officially placed it on its investor alert list, citing the provision of financial services by an “unregistered/unlicensed

ECB seeks online merchants for 2027 digital euro pilot

The European Central Bank (ECB) is seeking online and mobile merchants to participate in a 12-month digital euro pilot expected to begin in the second half of 2027.　　On Tuesday, the ECB said e-commerce and mobile-commerce merchants operating in the euro area can apply until Oct. 27. Selected businesses will enable beta digital euro payments in remote commerce environments and test how the currency could fit into checkout processes.　　The pilot will assess user experience, technical functionality and operational processes of the digital euro. The ECB said the beta version will be close to the currency described by the draft legislation but will not have legal tender status.　　According to the ECB, participation will be voluntary and unpaid, with applicants assessed on their market reach, operational readiness and suitability. Successful applicants must also establish or adapt a relationship with a participating payment service provider.　　In July, the ECB selected 36 payment service providers from over 50 applicants. The group includes Revolut, Stripe, Deutsche Bank and UniCredit, with participants assigned to support user access, merchant acceptance or both.　　The ECB said merchant feedback will inform design decisions. A final decision on issuing a digital euro will be made only after the relevant EU legislation is adopted.
