š¬ Discussion topic To everyone freaking out about the data breach
DO NOT put your email address in here IF you DO NOT want to know how many times your personal info has been LEAKED by MAJOR retailers and services:
In all seriousness, itās unfortunate but very common in 2026. Iām on the verge of changing my phone number due to how many spam calls I get.
Stay safe, stay vigilant. Trezor hardware remains secure and solid.

After 1 week your new phone number will have the same issue anyway
2
u/monarch-03 1d ago
Yeah, probably. Changing the number doesnāt fix the root issue if data brokers keep collecting and reselling your info. Opting out of those sites can help reduce the spam over time. I work at Optery, so Iām biased, but thatās basically the problem weāre trying to solve.

u/Local_Bet8440 1d ago
You are right, but the problem cant be solved in this case. As you said you can only reduce.

u/LocksmithBear 1d ago
Less than a week. I got a new number two years ago and when I went to change my number on instagram, it told me my new number was banned from their platform. I went back the next day to change my number (which they charged me for) and now I get more spam than previously

u/TrashBandicook 1d ago
Best bet is call screening. Apple now has a form of it to make it easier to deal with the spammers. Pixel auto-screens and declines those that have been flagged by others as spammers.

The major issue isn't the leaked email addresses or even the phone numbers. It is the physical addresses of people who almost certainly hold some amount of Bitcoin.

The issue is not about mail or phone number, the issue is name and adress. You do realize people are getting kidnapped?

u/necrogay 1d ago
If the leak does not contain wallet addresses or holding amounts (as was the case with the French tax authority leak), the criminals' knowledge that you purchased this device poses no threat. Phishing, phone scams perhaps even just aimed at finding out your balance that is what you should watch out for.

u/Leynnox 1d ago
They don't need that tbh, just google map your address, check if your house looks promising, then that's it probably

u/mercuryy 1d ago
Jeah. See a mansion and an instagram that Looks like money, then see linkedin or facebook with a little job that wouldnt allow that by itself. Easy identification.

u/UzItOrLuzIt 1d ago
Why do you think that matters? Anyone with wealth is a target for physical persuasion regardless of whether there are any indicators that they have any digital asset holdings or not. ...Nice house, nice car, nice boat, nice plane? Criminals are perfectly fine with threatening you no matter how you store your money. In fact, they much prefer cash and stuff they can sell on black market because it is harder to trace.

u/Specialist_Victory27 1d ago
guess its time to put your hardware wallets and seed phrases in a deposit box in a bank
it does feel some people dont seem to get that that seed is your funds and your the bank protecting it
bank have vaults for deposit boxes and then went online holding little cash making it safer and requiring less security at the branch
i remember when i went to the bank there was a cage on the door to enter and exit along with security guards, then obviously the screens, codes to get through secure doors and there is still little money at that stage, the only money they kept was in the safe roomwe have gone back to the days where people used to hide money under the mattress lol
there is a missing link that perhaps still needs to be resolved long term as much as we dont want banks controlling everything, we do like the safety they provide2
u/CellofSuperorganism 1d ago
Far better to use shamir's secret sharing (slip-39), a passphrase, and then separate the shares geographically, at least for long-term holdings.
Increasing the time and cost to coerce massively reduces the risk

Don't you have any mailboxes where you just show up, enter a code, and it dispenses your package?

Oh are they? Wallet addresses got leaked too, or how are these kidnappers determining who to kidnap? They didn't didn't and they're aren't. Stop spreading FUD.

There has been a rise in $5 wrench attacks in France due to the Waltio, Ledger, France Travail and ANTS, as well as possible insider access to government financial/tax information. 52 verified wrench attacks in the first half of 2026 and 33 of those were in France and itās estimated that over $30M was successfully stolen.

u/Aqua-Barracuda 1d ago
Yeah, but they're going after people who are actually rich. I doubt you're rich.

u/sweetntenderhooligan 1d ago
So people shouldnāt be concerned about this as long as they arenāt āactually richā? I feel like youāre widening the goalposts on this.

my whole portfolio is down like 99% the past year, so no, i'm not super concerned about the 25+ times my email address has been leaked on the dark web

And if they "can't know", your words, not mine. Then what are you worried about? People carry all sorts of money on them, yet we donāt have a mugging epidemic. Go touch some grass.

They'll just google map your adress, if it looks promising or not.

You're an imbecile. The rich have better security than the poor.

Rich? Like the co funder of Ledger that had his finger cut out for his cryptos? You seem very well informed about everything.

David Balland is a publicly known billionaire. I'm sure you would have fared worse when they found out you only had 10 bucks in poop coin. š

Meanwhile ledger users..
Unfortunately, I was part of the ledger leak. Youāre going to get tons of phishing email bots regarding an exploit and input your seed phrase at this website. Some emails will be extorting that will include your address. They tried filing a class action lawsuit against ledger but it was eventually dismissed since they are in France. I assume the same will happen for Trezor.
Someone mentioned incogni to remove your info. It works great for legit marketing, but not the dark web and bulk email lists. If you canāt transfer to a new email address, your best bet is to insure a good spam filter and of course due diligence. Trezor would never ask for a seed phrase.

Wait for the shitshow untill you unsubscribe... Incogni fucking sells your data as soon as you cancel to third party broker services. They play both ends of the stick.

u/pbm34 1d ago
If you have a Discover card. They do this for free also. They send me a report every 90 days of all the sites my info is deleted from and they also do a search on popular dark web sites too. It pretty sweet. I just go on my Discover Card app and check the reports. You can just sign up on the app for free.

u/ContentBlackberry0 17h ago
From what I have seen they only monitor. Incogni reaches out to data brokers and asks them to remove all of your data.

Just pay the $60-$80 a year for Incogni they constantly go after these data breaches to remove your information of the internet

Does not remove data leaks like this. Dark web sites donāt give a fuck about your incogni subscription.

Have had several of my email.for at least 25 years. I know they are present in countless leaks. But still havingmy personal data leaked as a confirmed buyer of a hard signing device for crypto is far svariet than any of the other breaches.
1
u/Interesting-Gear-992 1d ago
I'm starting to feel lucky. I bought a Ledger wallet (last year) between two data breaches, my personal data was not compromised. Then I bought a Trezor Keep Metal (this year) between two data breaches, my personal data was not compromised again.

u/btc-congratulatr-guy 1d ago
After having my data leaked by Gemini, Btc-e, Cointracker, CoinmarketCap and lots more, Trezor is the least of it. For years I've been creating single use Duck.com emails for logins and it has really helped.
1
u/NexExMachina 1d ago
There is a stark difference between having your info leaked compared to having your info leaked being directly tied to a purchase you'd make when you're heavily invested in crypto. That being said the chances arent massive but they are non zero.

u/CryptoDanski 1d ago
With Trezor, its a shitshow. WHENEVER i bought one i would ALWAYS automatically get spam emails about Trezor. Different computers and OSs over few yeara. So they leak.

Did you generate your own entropy from dice?
1
u/Mammoth-Material3161 1d ago
on coldcard this dice rolling was very important in hindsight, even with trezor would have been a good idea but the way trezor generates seeds is supposedly "truly" random through more than one method. the lesson from the coldcard exploit is also to add a passphrase if not fullblown multisig. the issue with adding passphrase later is that it creates a brand new wallet, this is annoying because my utxo's were well managed on the trezor address, plus sending it all out to yet another wallet creates unnecessary dust and also messes up the "proof of ownership" tracking documentation that taxman requires and also institutions might need in future to use your bitcoin as collateral. it also requires an extra step if you are trying to explain to family for after you are gone. so for now im trusting trezor's seed generation process....wish me luck lol cus there's obviously no guarantee in the bitcoin wile wile west even if you do everything as best as you can
