On Monday the company confirmed that customer data was exposed in a security issue linked to its online store partner. This news caused fresh worry across the crypto community.
Ledger said that private keys wallet funds and payment details were not touched. Still the breach exposed names and contact details of people who bought devices from the official Ledger store. This has brought back old fears about data leaks and the real world danger they can create for users.
Soon after the news became public many users reported an increase in scam messages. These included fake emails and messages pretending to be from Ledger support. Scammers used personal details to scare users and push them to share sensitive information. This kind of attack is not new and has been seen after earlier leaks.
Ledger has faced similar problems in the past. In a major incident years ago user data was leaked on a large scale. After that many users received fake messages and even fake devices in the mail. Some people lost funds after falling for these tricks. Security experts say these events show how serious data exposure can be even if wallets themselves are not hacked.
Experts explain that the risk is not only for people in the leaked data. Anyone known to own a hardware wallet can become a target. When attackers know your name or contact details the risk becomes higher. If a home address is exposed the danger grows even more because it can lead to real world threats.
Current phishing attacks focus on fear and urgency. Messages often say there is a problem with your wallet or that you need to act fast. They may use real order details to appear trustworthy. Some attacks come by phone or text message and not only by email. The goal is to rush the user into making a mistake.
Security experts stress one clear rule. No real company will ever ask for your recovery phrase. Any message that asks for it is a scam. Users should avoid replying to unexpected messages even if they look official. It is safer to ignore them and check information only through official channels.
Many users ask if they should move their funds or change wallets. Experts say panic moves can cause more harm. Moving funds does not remove the risk because the target is the person not the wallet. Quick actions can also make users fall for scams at the worst moment. Funds should only be moved if there is clear proof of unusual activity.
Privacy is one of the best long term protections. Users should avoid sharing details about their crypto holdings. Being quiet about what you own can reduce attention from attackers. The biggest defense is staying calm slowing down and thinking before acting.
In the end crypto safety depends on awareness. Technology helps but human judgment matters most. Never share your recovery phrase and always question unexpected messages.

January 6 2026. Ledger is a company that makes special wallets to keep cryptocurrency safe. They just found out that someone got into the system of the company they work with to handle payments, which is called Global-e.
Luckily the bad people did not get the codes to the wallets or the money that people have in them. They also did not get any payment information.. They did get the names of some customers their email addresses and sometimes even their home addresses. This is very worrying for people who use cryptocurrency and have wallets, with Ledger.

The breach. Then people got a lot of fake emails trying to trick them. Some bad people pretended to be Ledger or Global-e support teams. They used the information that was leaked to try and get people to tell them things or to download bad programs. This was all because of the breach and the bad people were trying to trick people who use Ledger or Global-e.

This is not the time Ledger has had a problem like this. There were problems in 2020 and 2021 when a lot of peoples information got out. This made it easy for bad people to try and trick users into giving them information and in some bad cases they even tried to use force to get to the hardware wallets that people use to store their money. Ledger has been through this before. It is a big deal, for the people who use Ledger.

Security experts are saying that the problem is not just for the people who had their information leaked. If your information was leaked you are in more danger because bad people will now try to target you on purpose. Ouriel Ohayon, the CEO of Zengo Wallet said this. The people who work to keep our computers safe also say that if someone knows where you live and that you have a kind of wallet for storing money like a hardware wallet you are, at a much higher risk of being targeted.

Phishing attacks are not really about the technology anymore. They are more about playing with peoples minds. People have gotten emails that say there is a problem with their security or that they need to replace a device. These emails often have information about their orders, which makes them seem real.
This is done to make people trust the emails. Alexander Urbelis, who is the Chief Information Security Officer at ENS said that the phishing scams use trust and the fact that people are in a hurry, not complicated computer code. Phishing attacks like these are very good, at tricking people because they use trust and time pressure.

People who know a lot, about this say that users should do things. Experts really think that users need to follow some rules. Experts recommend that users do what they say.

Avoid clicking links in unsolicited emails

Never share recovery phrases

Enable strong passwords and two-factor authentication on all accounts

Consider dedicated email addresses for crypto-related services

Ledger users are urged to remain vigilant, report suspicious communications, and follow best practices for operational security and privacy. While funds remain safe, the breach highlights ongoing challenges in securing user data within the crypto ecosystem.

BREAK Ledger Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Charles Guillemette said: We believe that making the ecosystem more secure will help everyone, and that's important as we look to increase adoption of #cryptocurrencies and #digital assets.
#Trezor has already implemented Secure Elements (SE). Secure Elements are chips designed to protect users' PINs and cryptographic secrets, and early Trezor devices could be hacked by modifying the software, allowing attackers to steal users' funds. effectively prevents low-cost hardware attacks, particularly voltage failures, and protects users' funds if the device is lost or stolen;
Trezor confirmed to X that users' funds are safe and no action needs to be taken. However, when asked if the issue could be resolved with a firmware update, the hardware wallet provider said
