Crypto Wallet Firm Ledger Confirms Customers Affected by Third-Party Data Breach

The crypto hardware wallet company Ledger says a number of customers are affected by a third-party data breach.

The firm is sending email notices to affected customers, warning them that hackers have breached the third-party payment processor Global-e.

The breach exposed people’s names and contact information, and Ledger tells BleepingComputer that its network has not been impacted.

“Some of the data accessed as part of this incident pertained to customers who purchased on Ledger.com using Global-e as a Merchant of Record. Importantly, no payment information was involved.

We encourage everyone to be alert to any potential phishing campaigns, never disclose their 24 words, and always Clear Sign transactions where possible.”

Ledger says its customers’ crypto remains secure, and its hardware crypto wallets and seed phrases are unaffected.

Global-e handles payments for several major companies including Netflix, Adidas, Disney, Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren, offering order processing, checkout, tax, and compliance services.

Ledger says Global-e will be contacting affected customers directly, and recommends reaching out to the payments firm for further details.
