This morning's Revolut outage was not a hack. Google Cloud had a "power event" in its London zone (europe-west2-b) starting 06:08 UTC / 07:08 BST, and Revolut's card payments, ATM withdrawals, transfers, currency exchange and stock trading went down with it.

Timeline (UTC):

06:08 — power event begins in Google's London zone

~07:00 — Downdetector passes 1,500 Revolut reports (StatusGator later counted 4,000+)

Morning — Revolut confirms the disruption and says all customer money and data are safe

Afternoon — Google restores full service availability

Also disrupted: HMCTS remote court hearings across England and Wales.…
