Ledger customers have been warned about a data leak linked to Global-e, a third-party e-commerce platform used for international transactions. The leak exposed customer names and contact details, although Ledger did not disclose how many users were affected. The incident was publicized by blockchain investigator ZackXBT on social media, bringing attention to the security breach.
Ledger confirmed it was informed about unauthorized access to order data at Global-e, which included some information related to purchases made on Ledger.com. The company reassured customers that its own systems remain secure and emphasized that Global-e does not have access to critical information like private keys or payment data. This latest leak raises concerns, especially in light of Ledgerβs troubled history with data breaches.
In 2020, a previous breach resulted in the personal information of over 270,000 Ledger customers being published on a hacking forum. That incident led to phishing attempts and a class-action lawsuit against Ledger and Shopify, citing inadequate data protections. While the scale of this recent leak is still unclear, it may provoke further scrutiny of how crypto companies manage customer data, particularly as they promote security as a key feature.
