The Reaction of Ledger and Trezor

Both Ledger and Trezor reacted on Twitter over the hacker’s claim. Ledger states that its team is investigating, but currently, they have not found evidence of breaching. Ledger stated:

“Rumors pretend our Shopify database has been hacked through a Shopify exploit. Our ecommerce team is currently checking these allegations by analyzing the so-called hacked db, and so far it doesn’t match our real db. We continue investigations and are taking the matter seriously.”

Trezor says they are not working with Shopify, but their team is also investigating whether it is true or not. Trezor said:

“There are rumors spreading that our eshop database has been hacked thru a Shopify exploit. Our eshop does not use Shopify, but we are nonetheless investigating the situation. We’ve been also routinely purging old customer records from the database to minimize the possible impact.”

According to the Twitter post of cybercrime investigating team, the hacker is currently holding the databases for eighteen online platforms and exchanges. Two crypto tax firms are also included in the list.
