Ledger Customer Data Exposed in Global-e Payment Partner Breach

News Flash 2026-01-05 22:31

Ledger, a prominent crypto hardware wallet provider, has confirmed a data breach involving its customers' names and contact information. The breach occurred through Global-e, a payment processing partner, affecting customers who used Global-e as a Merchant of Record on Ledger.com. The unauthorized access to Global-e's cloud system compromised order data from multiple brands, not just Ledger. This incident adds to Ledger's history of data breaches, with previous leaks in 2020 involving over 272,000 customers. The current breach heightens the risk of phishing attacks, a persistent threat in the crypto space, where scammers exploit leaked data to deceive users into revealing sensitive information. The breach underscores ongoing security challenges for crypto users, as evidenced by past incidents like the kidnapping of Ledger co-founder David Balland in a wrench attack. Global-e has not commented on the breach, and the exact number of affected Ledger customers remains undisclosed. The situation highlights the critical need for robust data protection measures in the crypto industry.
