Ledger Crypto Wallet Breach
This is from an email that company has alerted its customers.
From a bounty program a researcher found out a potential vulnerability.
From further investigation seems that this vulnerability has been used again.
According the company about a million email addresses has been exposed.
Also, for about 9500 customers details (first and last name, phone number postal address) has been, also, exposed.
"Your payment information and crypto funds are safe" the company wrote in a blog post.
Ledger said that the company will never ask for recovery phrase.
The breach is not available anymore.
Coinbase not listing Monero
The company, after tits effort to be listed in the stock market, has announced, through its CEO, that "will not listing MOnero any time soon".
This negative situation for Monero - and basically for any privacy token - is a result of regulation worries.
Regulations are a big issue for most countries, even if great steps has been done.
