Ledger Suffers Second Data Breach via Payment Processor Global-e
Ledger customers face renewed privacy concerns as payment processor Global-e reports unauthorized access to personal data. Names and contact information were compromised, marking the hardware wallet maker's second breach since April 2025. Forensic investigators are assessing the cloud-based intrusion.
The incident highlights systemic risks in third-party vendor dependencies. Global-e detected anomalous activity in its network and severed access, but Ledger has not disclosed the breach's full scope. crypto communities circulated warnings after affected users received notifications.
This breach compounds Ledger's security challenges following its 2020 database leak. The company's reliance on external processors creates persistent attack vectors—a cautionary tale for digital asset custodians amid tightening regulatory scrutiny.
