A database contains the emails, physical addresses, and phone numbers of over 270,000 Ledger customers has been published on RaidForums
A hacker allegedly behind the breach of personal data from hardware wallet Ledger in June has made all the information they obtained available online, published on RaidForums, a marketplace for buying, selling, and sharing hacked information. This reportedly includes 1,075,382 email addresses from users subscribed to the Ledger newsletter, and 272,853 hardware wallet orders with information including email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers, Alon Gal, co-Founder & CTO of Hudson Rock tweeted on Dec 20.
“ALERT: Threat actor just dumped Ledger‘s database which have been circling around for the past few months. The database contains information such as Emails, Physical Addresses, Phone numbers and more information on 272,000 Ledger buyers and Emails of 1,000,000 additional users.” Alon Gal said.
“This leak holds major risk to the people affected by it,” said Gal. “Individuals who purchased a Ledger tend to have high net worth in cryptocurrencies and will now be subject to both cyber harassments as well as physical harassments in a larger scale than experienced before.”
A Ledger spokesperson said the firm had anticipated that more information could have been leaked in the June attack despite the total found in its review of the incident.
“We are continuously working with law enforcement to prosecute hackers and stop these scammers. We have taken down more than 170 phishing websites since the original breach,” Ledger tweeted.
