Ah, dear reader, today we find ourselves once more grappling with the tumultuous waves of the cryptocurrency sea. Ledger, that illustrious purveyor of hardware wallets, has once again been swept into a tempest of misfortune, as a data breach, courtesy of their payment processing partner, Global-e, has laid bare the personal details of its clients. The crypto community, always one to don their metaphorical tinfoil hats, braces itself for an onslaught of phishing attacks that would make even the most seasoned con artist blush.
Global-e’s Little Slip: A Treasure Trove of Customer Info Exposed!
On this fateful day, January 5, 2026, Ledger has found itself at the center of yet another scandal. The personal information of its loyal clientele has been callously leaked by the very vendor entrusted with their financial sanctity! What a world we live in!

Thus far, the culprits have merely pilfered names and contact information. Thankfully, it seems seed phrases and passwords remain unscathed-at least for now. But lo, the doors to deceit swing wide open!

Ah, the audacity!
In previous revelations, we learned that this marks the third grand leak of Ledger users’ personal information, each time casting blame upon a third-party payment service. It would seem the universe has a penchant for irony.
And Now, a Word About Trust Wallet: Still Cleaning Up the Mess from 2025
Let us not forget the unfortunate fate of Trust Wallet, another esteemed bastion of digital self-custody, recently besieged by hackers. Their nefarious deeds involved injecting malicious JavaScript that intercepted seed phrases and restored wallets on isolated machines, pilfering funds with a finesse that would make even the most experienced pickpocket green with envy.
The swift response from Trust Wallet’s team was commendable, as they hurriedly released an emergency update for their compromised software. Yet, alas, even a week post-hack, some users remained vulnerable, trapped in a digital labyrinth.

As of January 3, 2026, over 36,000 wallets were still in dire need of an emergency update. And fear not, a reimbursement program has been initiated for all victims of the Trust Wallet debacle. At least there’s a silver lining to this cloud of chaos!
