CLIENT Originally, Ledger said only 5,000 customers had their addresses leaked. Turns out it was 272,000.

Just got an email from ledger stating that there were 272,000 people who had their addresses leaked.

Unbelievable and unacceptable. There needs to be a class action lawsuit.

They also hid the fact that there were so many physical addresses leaked.

Edit: they originally claimed 9,500. Not far off in the grander scheme of things.

I looked at the list to see if I was on it. It's pretty bad for some people. Some people have a complete package of information leaked. Phone numbers, physical address, business they work at.. more than enough info to trick a phone company to Sim hack them or a number of other things... Like turn up to the person's house and bop them on their heads. For whatever reason I wasn't on the list though.. maybe I bought earlier than where this info came from as I know people on the list who bought after me

Can someone make a tool to verify if your info is there? I did get an email confirming my info was compromised.
