Ledger Customer Data Exposed in Global-e Breach on January 5, 2026, Wallet Keys Unaffected

On January 5, 2026, blockchain researcher ZachXBT reported that Ledger customers’ personal data was accessed in a breach at payment processor Global-e, exposing names and contact details but not payment information or wallet keys. Ledger emphasized that the incident involved a third-party provider rather than its hardware wallets, though security researchers warned the leak could fuel targeted phishing and social engineering attacks. The case follows previous Ledger data and supply-chain incidents, adding to wider concerns about vendor-related vulnerabilities in the crypto ecosystem.
