Another data breach of users of the popular crypto wallet manufacturer Ledger has occurred through the payment system Global-e. As reported by crypto detective ZachXBT, the incident resulted in the disclosure of customers' personal data, including names and contact information.
ZachXBT shared a fragment of an email received by some users:
"Suspicious activity was detected in a part of our network at Global-e. We took steps to isolate and secure our systems. We engaged independent digital forensics experts to investigate the incident and determined that there was unauthorized access to some personal data, including name and contact information."
No official statement from Ledger with details of the incident has been published at the time of writing.
As stated on the crypto wallet manufacturer's website, Global-e offers e-commerce solutions. Since October 9, 2023, Ledger has been using the Global-e platform to sell Ledger products through the official Ledger website.
In 2020, the company already reported a data compromise of over 270 thousand wallet buyers, including delivery addresses, their phone numbers, and email addresses. It was reported that after the incident, the personal information of 4,865 users from Russia, among others, became publicly available.
After the incident, for several years, Ledger users received phishing mailings electronically and even in paper form. The goal of these letters was to obtain additional information that could lead to the theft of cryptocurrency.
A major user data leak in 2025 also affected the American crypto exchange Coinbase, where, according to expert estimates, the damage amounted to several hundred million dollars.
