“# Ledger owners report chilling threats after 20K more records leaked <\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Ledger users are receiving threatening emails in the wake of the hardware wallet manufacturer reporting that 20,000 more of its customers have been affected by another massive data breach.<\/p>\n

One or more extortionists using the names Darrin Burlew and Denni Hornig have reportedly sent emails to users who say their personal information was released as a result of the data breach at Ledger in June and July of last year. <\/p>\n

Reddit<\/a> user Crypthomie, a former flight attendant based in the United Arab Emirates, said<\/a> his Ledger owning father received a message today. The email included his name, home address, and phone number and demanded 0.3 Bitcoin (BTC) or 10 Ether (ETH) \u2014 worth roughly $12,000 \u2014 or he’d face physical violence. Crypthomie made headlines in the crypto space last by being unable to pay back a $100,000 loan to buy BTC at the height of the 2017 bull run.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am taking this very seriously and Ledger has made a very big mistake,\u201d said<\/a> the Redditor. \u201cI know that those scammers sending emails by hundreds are just trying their luck by creating fear, but when it comes to the safety of your family it’s another story.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDon’t be fooled people, no one will come to your home to kill you but this feeling of insecurity is a scandal and Ledger has to do something about it.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Other Ledger users report receiving similar emails with demands for a crypto ransom to be paid within 24 hours or they will face \u201chorrifying\u201d consequences.<\/p>\n

\u201cAre you able to imagine all the possible consequences that can occur to you and your loved ones?\u201d said<\/a> the scammer in another email. “I hope you do not ruin every little thing for yourself by making the wrong choice.\u201d<\/p>\n

F**k sake! <\/p>\n

This is my actual home address in the email.<\/p>\n

I don’t even know what to say, but @Ledger<\/a> you absolutely useless waste of space.<\/p>\n
