Ledger has confirmed that the publication of the stolen data is likely linked to the June 2020 hack.
The attacker posted stolen email addresses and email addresses of users of the Ledger cryptocurrency wallet on the hacker forum Raidforum.
Recall that on June 25 of this year, hackers gained access to the company's database using an API key. The company immediately fixed the vulnerability and conducted an internal investigation.
Now the criminal has published an archive containing two files with stolen data. One of the files contains the email addresses of 1,075,382 people who have subscribed to the Ledger newsletter. The other file contains the names and postal addresses 272 853 people who purchased the device Ledger.
Security researchers from the company Cyble confirmed the fact of hacking to the publication Bleeping Computer. Ledger also confirmed in a tweet that the stolen data is likely linked to the June 2020 hack.
Ledger is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet that is used to store, manage, and sell cryptocurrency. The funds stored in these wallets are protected with a special 24-word phrase and an additional secret passphrase that only the owner knows.
