Ledger said Monday that a breach at its payment partner Global-e may have exposed some customer order information, but stressed that the incident did not affect Ledger devices, wallets, or recovery phrases.

The announcement came shortly after customers reported receiving an email from Global-e disclosing unusual activity in its cloud systems that led to unauthorized access to some personal information. Blockchain sleuth ZachXBT first alerted users to the incident via his Telegram channel.

This is a developing story.
