Security News > 2020 > December > Hacker Dumps Crypto Wallet Customer Data; Active Attacks Follow
On Monday a hacker dumped sensitive data stolen earlier this year from the Ledger cryptocurrency wallet's website.
Researchers at security firm Cyble discovered files from the Ledger leak published Monday on a hacker forum, according to a report in BleepingComputer.
An archive includes two files named "All Emails.txt" and "Ledger Orders only.txt" that contain sensitive data from the breach.
A Ledger spokesperson told Threatpost in an email Monday that "The dumped content may be Ledger's e-commerce database that was exposed during the data breach in June 2020," although the company is still investigating.
Before the July attack on Ledger, researchers discovered widespread campaigns spreading malicious browser extensions abusing Google Ads and well-known cryptocurrency brands including Ledger to lure victims and eventually steal their cryptocurrency wallet credentials.
