Cryptocurrency hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger has reported that a data breach at its third-party e-commerce provider Global-e has exposed personal information of some Ledger customers, including names and contact details. While no payment information, private keys, or cryptocurrency balances were affected, the exposure of personal data raises concerns about potential phishing and impersonation attempts targeting Ledger users.

Why it matters

Incidents involving third-party vendors can highlight broader cybersecurity considerations around data protection and vendor management practices. Cryptocurrency users affected by such breaches face increased risks of social engineering attacks even when their digital asset holdings are not directly compromised.
