Ledger data breach again: Payment provider Global-e reports security incident, user personal information accessed improperly

【Blockchain Rhythm】Ledger has encountered another issue. Recently, the community reported that this longstanding hardware wallet provider experienced a data breach again, and this time the source was traced back to their payment service provider Global-e.

Affected Ledger users received an email notification from Global-e today, stating that their network systems had recently been found to have abnormal activity. After the anomaly was detected in their cloud system, Global-e immediately took emergency measures to block and isolate the issue. They also engaged an independent forensic company to investigate, and the results showed that some users’ personal data, including names and contact information, had been improperly accessed.

This is not the first time Ledger has faced security issues related to data safety. What does the exposure of users’ personal information mean? At the very least, your real identity and phone number may now be circulating on the black market, greatly increasing the risks of phishing scams and impersonation of official entities. For those holding digital assets, such data leaks often serve as a prelude to targeted scams.

If you are a Ledger user, you need to be more vigilant now—be cautious of emails and calls claiming to be from official sources, as your personal information is no longer secure.
