<p>Ledger, the crypto wallet firm, has put up a bitcoin bounty worth approximately $350,000 for information on the attackers behind a series of data leaks.</p> <p>The company has published <a href="https://www.ledger.com/blog/update-efforts-to-protect-your-data-and-prosecute-the-scammers?utm_source=twitter&amp;utm_medium=organic&amp;utm_campaign=blog&amp;utm_content=dataupdate">a detailed blog post</a> laying out the recent history of leaks and phishing attacks that have compromised the personal information of hundreds of thousands of its customers in recent months.</p> <p>The situation began in last summer with <a href="https://www.theblockcrypto.com/linked/88596/database-containing-personal-information-of-over-270000-ledger-customers-released-on-raidforums" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">a breach of Ledger’s e-commerce and marketing database</a>, with the most recent incident coming in December, when Ledger was informed by Shopify that a “rogue member” of the e-commerce giant’s support team had obtained customer transactional records relating to Ledger and other firms.</p> <p>Since the summer, the number of phishing attacks against its customers has spiked.</p> <p>In response, Ledger has taken a series of steps including filling a wallet with 10 BTC which it will reward to anyone who can provide information that leads to the identification, arrest and successful prosecution of the cyber-criminals. The company is also hoping to persuade others in the crypto industry to contribute to the initiative.</p> <p>Ledger is also hiring additional private investigators and making changes to the way it handles information, which includes the launch of a new technical solution that will pave the way for funds insurance for individual customers.</p> <p>“We are all here for the same reason: we are long-time believers in the value and future of cryptocurrency and digital assets,” said Ledger in a statement, adding:</p> <blockquote> <p>“We at Ledger have learned very important lessons and will continue to work hard to ensure your trust is well-placed in us. We are humbled. We are becoming stronger and more resilient as a result.” </p> </blockquote>
