Ledger Data Breach: Customer Information Compromised via Global-e Platform

A significant data breach has impacted customers of the hardware wallet provider Ledger. The security incident did not originate from Ledger's own systems but occurred through its e-commerce and marketing partner, Global-e. The breach resulted in the exposure of customer contact details, including names, addresses, and phone numbers. Ledger has confirmed that no financial information, recovery phrases, or private keys were compromised, as such data is never collected by the company. The firm is notifying affected users and has reported the incident to relevant data protection authorities. This event highlights the persistent security risks within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, even for companies specializing in asset protection.
