Ledger Hack Investigation
Hardware wallet compromised? We trace stolen funds from Ledger phishing attacks, blind signing exploits, and data breach scams across all supported chains.
Hardware Wallet Investigation
Ledger hardware wallets are among the most secure ways to store cryptocurrency—but they're not immune to user-targeted attacks. Phishing campaigns, especially following the 2020 data breach, continue to target Ledger users. Blind signing attacks and social engineering also claim victims.
When funds leave a Ledger—whether through legitimate transactions or theft—they're on the public blockchain and fully traceable. The security of a hardware wallet doesn't prevent tracing; it protects the private key until compromise occurs.
Our investigation determines how your Ledger was compromised, traces all stolen assets across supported chains, and documents the fund flow to support recovery efforts.
How Ledger Users Get Compromised
Phishing Attacks
Fake Ledger Live websites or emails tricking users into entering their 24-word recovery phrase.
Data Breach Exploitation
Scammers using leaked Ledger customer data for targeted phishing campaigns.
Fake Ledger Devices
Counterfeit hardware wallets pre-loaded with compromised firmware or known seed phrases.
Blind Signing Exploits
Tricking users into signing malicious transactions they can't fully verify on the device.
Social Engineering
Convincing users to share seed phrases through fake support or recovery scams.
Physical Theft
Stolen devices combined with observed or extracted PINs.
🚨 Never Enter Your 24-Word Phrase Online
Your Ledger recovery phrase should ONLY be entered on the physical device itself during initial setup or recovery. No website, email, support chat, or update process ever requires entering your 24 words online.
If you've entered your recovery phrase on any website or shared it with anyone, your wallet is compromised. Move funds immediately (if possible) and contact us to trace any stolen assets.
Ledger Investigation FAQ
Can hardware wallet funds be traced if stolen?
Yes. Once cryptocurrency leaves a Ledger (by any means), it's on the blockchain and traceable. Hardware wallets protect private keys, but transactions are public. If your funds were stolen, we trace them like any other wallet compromise.
How could my Ledger have been hacked?
Ledger devices themselves are secure, but users can be compromised through phishing (entering seed phrase on fake sites), signing malicious transactions, receiving counterfeit devices, or social engineering. We identify how the compromise occurred.
I received an email about a Ledger security issue asking for my seed phrase.
This is a scam. Ledger never asks for your 24-word phrase via email. The 2020 data breach exposed customer emails, leading to ongoing phishing campaigns. If you entered your phrase anywhere, your wallet is compromised.
Is my Ledger safe to use after the data breach?
Your device is safe if you never entered your seed phrase online. The breach exposed contact information, not private keys. However, be extremely vigilant about phishing—scammers have your email address.
I signed a transaction I didn't fully understand and funds disappeared.
This is a "blind signing" attack. On complex transactions, Ledger may not display full details, allowing malicious transactions to be approved. We trace where these funds went and document what happened.
My Ledger was stolen. Can you trace if they access my funds?
If the thief has both your device AND PIN (or your seed phrase), they can access funds. We monitor and trace any transactions from your addresses. Having your seed phrase backed up allows you to recover to a new device and move remaining funds.

Trace your cryptocurrency through the attacker's network. Hardware wallet theft is fully investigable on the blockchain.
