A class action lawsuit has been filed against Ledger in New York, alleging that the hardware wallet manufacturer failed to fully disclose a December 2023 security incident that exposed customers' personal information. Hackers used the leaked contact details to impersonate Ledger and trick customers into approving fraudulent transactions, leading to crypto asset theft, with data also appearing on the dark web.
