I believe Ledger already leaked customers' addresses. https://www.bitdefender.com/en-au/blog/hotforsecurity/hacker-publishes-stolen-email-and-mailing-addresses-of-270000-ledger-cryptocurrency-wallet-users https://www.bitdefender.com/en-au/blog/hotforsecurity/hacker... Probably the most dangerous and costly data leak ever. Can't believe Ledger was able to stay in business after that.

I don't live at the house where I ordered my wallet anymore. So that's a relief.

  Have you warned the people who DO live there?

  We literally had to move, out of fear, and I am going to ridiculous measures right now because I work in the field. Luckily, we were renting.

    Is it worth the impact to your lifestyle to work in crypto?

      Sounds like it if they have enough assets to worry about organized kidnapping, and the inconvenience is moving apartments.

        I literally got very thinly veiled threats from my competition to stop developing my product further, or else... Because, apparently, my product was "f*cking it up for other businesses." My usernames like here are random words.

      Well, it's not just crypto. Most of my work is in general finance, which puts my family at high risk. If you know what you're doing, it's worth it. I plan to sell my company within 12-18 months and retire. And, yes, I'm certain that I will do it. I can't imagine being a celebrity. Fame must be a nightmare.

The article is dated 2020 for those who are curious.

Ledger’s e-commerce and marketing database got popped around June 2020, and the hackers walked away with a bunch of customer emails and some subset of physical addresses/phone numbers. Ledger acknowledged the breach in July, but the data ended up getting shared and reposted multiple times afterward—most famously in December 2020, sparking a wave of phishing attacks. I know the details cause I work in the field. It's quite crazy that they are still in business.
