Data breaches at shipping partners exposed names, addresses, emails and phone numbers of customers of hardware-wallet makers Trezor and SafePal, TechCrunch reported. The wallet devices themselves were not compromised, but the information can help criminals target owners with phishing or physical coercion aimed at seed phrases. The companies warned customers to watch for phishing. The report does not provide a total number of affected customers and describes the breaches as separate incidents.
