Talking point: Ledger disclosed the data breach in July 2020, saying that a December data dump exposed the personal information of 272,000 customers, many of whom were targeted by phishing scams. In January, Ledger revealed the breach was linked to a September disclosure by Shopify that two members of the company’s support team had illegitimately accessed data from less than 200 merchants. Representative plaintiffs John Chu and Edward Baton filed the lawsuit in San Francisco last Tuesday, which pegs the “matter in controversy” at over US$5 million. Shopify and Ledger have yet to file statements of defence.
