Today we were alerted to the dump of the contents of a Ledger customer database on Raidforum. We are still confirming, but early signs tell us that this indeed could be the contents of our e-commerce database from June, 2020.

Warning: the personal information of over 1M Ledger users is floating around the web. This includes names, emails, phone numbers, physical addresses. There will be a lot of sophisticated attempts to fool you into entering your PIN / seed phrase. DO NOT DO IT! https://twitter.com/…

It is remarkable that a company that asked to be trusted to secure the Bitcoins of its customers, one of the hardest security jobs around, wasn't able to secure its own customer databases. Now all those customers are at risk. https://twitter.com/...

MOST IMPORTANTLY: Never share the 24 words of your recovery phrase with anyone, even if they are pretending to be a representative of Ledger. Ledger will never ask you for them. Ledger will never contact you via text messages or phone call.
