Ledger news: How to stay safe after the Ledger leak: experts urge privacy first

Ledger confirmed a data breach linked to its payment processor, Global-e, exposing customer names and contact details, though private keys and funds were reportedly safe. This incident has led to a surge in phishing and scam attempts, exploiting the leaked data to pressure users. Security experts warn that physical addresses in the leak heighten the risk profile for "wrench attacks." The current phishing tactics rely on psychological pressure, using real names and order details to create urgency via email, SMS, or calls, often demanding immediate action under the guise of security alerts. Experts strongly advise users never to share their recovery seed phrase, verify all unsolicited contact sources, and avoid panic-driven on-chain activity like moving funds, as the user, not the wallet location, is the target. The primary long-term defense emphasized is maintaining strict privacy regarding crypto ownership and wealth.
