Customer data from a June attack against cryptocurrency wallet firm Ledger is now public and actively being used in attacks.
On Monday a hacker dumped sensitive data stolen earlier this year from the Ledger cryptocurrency wallet’s website. The data was put up for grabs on sites frequented by criminals. And in a twist that surprised no one, the data is now actively being exploited in phishing campaigns.
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 (Subscription).txt” and “Ledger Orders (Buyers) only.txt” that contain sensitive data from the breach. The first includes email addresses of 1,075,382 people who subscribed to the Ledger newsletter, according to the report.
