Ledger is facing a class action lawsuit stemming from a data breach that allegedly occurred in December 2023. The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York by plaintiff Douglas Kim.
According to Kim, the security incident exposed sensitive customer information, including names, email addresses, and phone numbers. He claims Ledger did not adequately disclose the breach.

The complaint links this breach to social engineering attacks, where criminals impersonated Ledger representatives to trick users into approving fraudulent transactions and stealing cryptocurrency.
This incident follows a previous breach in 2020 that impacted approximately 270,000 customers, raising concerns about Ledger's security practices.
