Attorney Ariel Givner announced that hardware wallet manufacturer Ledger is facing a class action lawsuit in New York. The complaint alleges that a December 2023 security incident exposed customers' personally identifiable information (PII), including names, emails, and phone numbers, and that Ledger failed to disclose the breach fully and promptly. Hackers subsequently used the leaked contact details to impersonate official support, tricking customers into approving fraudulent transactions and stealing their crypto assets. The stolen data also surfaced on the dark web.
Attorney Ariel Givner said on X that hardware wallet maker Ledger is now the target of a class action lawsuit in New York. The complaint says a December 2023 security incident exposed customers' personally identifiable information (PII), including names, email addresses, and phone numbers. And it claims Ledger did not disclose the breach fully or on time.
Using that leaked contact data, hackers allegedly posed as Ledger's official support team, fooled customers into approving fraudulent transactions, and stole their crypto assets. Bad enough. The stolen information also reportedly showed up on the dark web.
