Ledger Faces New Data Breach as Security Concerns Rise

Hardware wallet provider Ledger has alerted customers about a new data breach involving its payment and logistics partner, Global-e. An email reviewed by The Block mentioned that this breach exposed customer names and contact information. 

Ledger Alerts Its Customers

According to a post on X, Ledger described the incident as a “data exposure.” Notably, it did not specify when the incident happened or how long the data was accessible. Importantly, Ledger confirmed that no sensitive financial data, such as payment card numbers, private keys, or recovery phrases, were affected. 

Despite this, the exposure of personal details still creates risks, including phishing attempts and scams targeting Ledger users. Additionally, the email alert did not specify the number of customers affected. As such, it created uncertainty about the extent of the data leak. 

Customers are advised to remain cautious of unsolicited messages claiming to be from Ledger or related services. Undoubtedly, the crypto wallet provider has faced data problems in the past, making this new exposure especially concerning for its users.

Phishing Campaigns Add to Ledger’s Troubled History

Recall that in May, Ledger’s Discord server was compromised. A malicious actor exploited the account of a contracted moderator to post a fraudulent message urging users to verify their recovery phrases via a phishing link.

As reported by TheCoinRise, the attacker used the compromised moderator account to grant bot access, which posted deceptive messages in at least one channel. Some community members alleged that the attacker used moderator permissions to mute or ban users who were raising the alarm. This delayed Ledger’s ability to respond promptly.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time Ledger customers have been targeted through deceitful tactics. The company has faced persistent phishing campaigns since a 2020 data breach exposed personal details like names, emails, and physical addresses.

Products Offered by Ledger

Ledger offers popular hardware wallet models, such as the Ledger Nano S, Ledger Nano X, and the Ledger Nano S/X bundle. 

These wallets support a variety of cryptocurrencies. They also include features such as secure key generation, transaction signing, and integration with other software wallets or cryptocurrency exchanges, such as Coinbase, to support hardware wallets. 

In April 2025, Ledger hinted at a collaboration with the popular Non-Fungible Token (NFT) collection, Pudgy Penguins. Interestingly, this is part of the company’s effort to expand its operations in the crypto industry.
