Revolut says that in less than a year it's managed to slash its [code generation] costs by roughly 90 percent by making self-hosted models its default instead of relying primarily on commercial services like Claude.

Oh that's why an hacker managed to phish them 680 times to get all details on his victims.

Passports. Documents, transactions, and so on: the hacker pretended to be an Italian police officer and asked to get info on millionaires, an LLM believed that without question 680 separate times.

Not saying it was ok, but the issue here was that the Italian police got hacked not revolut, from their pov the request was valid.

Still, they should have evaluated if it was legit and not just rubber-stamping hundreds of requests in a short time from a small police office in Southern Italy that would send 1/year at most. And think "why this Italian officer wants info on finland citizens?"

That I can agree to, I suspect plenty of it is automated or the people will be under so much work that there are no incentives to do so.
