Ledger customers alerted to fresh data leak tied to payment processor

Ledger customers have been alerted via email to a fresh data exposure stemming from a security incident at Global-e, a third-party payment and logistics provider used by Ledger for international transactions. The compromised data reportedly includes customer names and other contact details, though the total number of affected users is unspecified, and Ledger has not yet issued a public statement regarding the scope or duration of the exposure. This incident revives concerns over Ledger's history with data security, referencing a major 2020 breach that exposed personal information of over 270,000 customers, leading to phishing attempts and a class-action lawsuit. The new event is expected to renew scrutiny on how crypto firms and their vendors manage sensitive customer data, especially given Ledger's focus on security through hardware wallets.
