Hackers Dump Ledger Wallet E-Commerce Customer Data on Raidforums
One of the most topical conversations in the cryptocurrency space in the last 24 hours has been the notorious Ledger wallet e-commerce customer data leak. According to the hardware wallet manufacturer’s own testimony, the e-commerce marketing database was breached on June 25, 2020. They found out the database was exploited after a researcher tipped the company off on July 14, 2020, and they initiated an internal investigation.

“Contact and order details were involved. This is mostly the email address of our customers, approximately 1M addresses,” Ledger wrote at the time of discovery. “Further to investigating the situation we have also been able to establish that, for a subset of 9,500 customers were also exposed, such as first and last name, postal address, phone number or ordered products.”

Last week, news.Bitcoin.com reported on the Ledger leak situation, as it has come back to haunt the company. A great number of people said they had received phishing emails and some individuals have reportedly lost funds. Additionally, a number of Ledger customers that had their phone numbers leaked have been detailing that malicious text messages have been sent to their phones. Making matters far worse, reports on December 20, 2020, indicate that the hackers have decided to dump all the info for free on the Raidforums marketplace.

A number of cryptocurrency proponents have been reporting on the data dump on social media and there’s also a Pastebin file going around with the dump as well. “A hacker is dumping the full Ledger database dump for free on Raidforums,” tweeted one individual. “Emails, phone numbers, and addresses. Get ready for a huge spam and phishing wave,” he added. According to the Raidsforums post, identity info for 272,000 Ledger owners were included with the 1 million email addresses.
