Wanted to warn you all: I ordered a ledger within the past 30 days and used a set of burner credentials ( new email on protonmail unused / DID phone number) because I heard about ledger leaking customer info in the past.
Low and behold this morning - I started receiving spam from French domains asking me to sign up for loans on my burner email that I used for ledger.
I cannot confirm 100% that this is related to ledger but based on the evidence above I have a strong feeling it is . This email address has not been used anywhere else. Ledger is a french company and now im receiving french spam.
Not trying to FUD - I'm still going to continue to to use my ledger, just want you all to be safe out there. We are all going to make it.
to clarify - I'm receiving phishing spam not generic spam.

Life Hack. Fill out your name on sites like this John Ledger Smith. When you start getting spam and they’re using the name you entered you know who sold your data
Dominic Moore
why you faggots never buy from amazon?
Hudson Ross
They said it was as plugin which leaked data since 2019. They were definitely covering something up. Shame ledger device is good but the company is fucking ass. Third party tampering and also cheaper on site
Ryan Campbell
I ordered on the 26th. No French spam so far.
Nathan Scott
I only hear about this shady shit here and there with ledger, never heard anything about trezor. And that’s the main reason i bought a trezor
Anthony Nguyen
So I wasn't part of the initial data leak from 2019. I am a new ledger customer. This is my first time ordering one. I ordered directly from ledgers website and not amazon.
I'm not sure if this is related to the 2019 (unless it's still ongoing). Either way, the timing seems really suspicious
Robert Hall
tampering on a sealed package? every ledger gets checked by ledger live software and every ledger gets a new seedphrase whats there to tamper?the chip?

unknown risk not worth it

So I get calls from chinks saying I signed up to some investment site. Spam called me for weeks when finally I answer and some Chinese cunt starts rambling. >Binance Now I got a phone call from Tunisia the other day. That was a new one. Didn't answer first time, then pick up and immediate disconnect. >Ledger
I am pretty sure these cunts are giving my details out.

Why people choose ledger over trezor is beyond me especially if you do a little research behind each company and intended on storing 5-6+ figures on it
Parker Rogers
I think it might be a rogue insider at Ledger.
Aaron White
Posts like these make me feel like ledger and tenzor both run viral campaigns on Zig Forums against one another.
Parker Harris
Fuck I bought one the other day. Any whales here that rely on ledger and have no issues? I'm about to deposit a significant amount, but now I'm concerned
Jack Mitchell
I got a call from Tunisia yesterday too. It rang a few times then hung up. I never answered. But I googled it and it said it's a scam to get you to call back and be charged international fees.
It's easy enough to just look at the site and look at the model ledger you got, crack it open, and compare it to the pictures they have on their site. It's so easy a retard could do it.

Ledger leaking your email won't affect the device itself just don't install firmware you got from [email protected]
Robert Adams
Yeh no emails either. Mine was yesterday too actually. We could trade details and figure where our point of contact crosses. But I don't trust these mongolian basket weavers.
Jordan Gray
Fucking myspace
Jaxson Morris
The issue went on into 2020. Ledger did not find the issue till this august. this is what worriers me the most.
Kevin Richardson
My Trezor does not have this issue.
Aaron Myers
Why do you need a ledger. can't you just sign it off a USB or something
Landon Watson
>email on protonmail unused / DID phone number) because I heard about ledger leaking customer info in the past. What’s the point of doing all this if you gave them your physical address
I don't know what trezor is regardless, as someone mentioned above, I don't necessarily care about my email, I care about my other contact details like my physical address that can be used to steal my identity, sim swap me and other various activities like holding me ransom. I hold a significant amount of crypto so I'm panicking some what. I'd rather not be potentially kidnapped and have my knees broken
Thomas Myers
It's still a reduction of attack vector. I'd rather a fake email kept compromised than my personal email.
Any OPSEC is better than no opsec.
Benjamin Price
Only solution is to move home. Ledger are impossible to contact to pay compensation aswell
