SafePal Data Breach Exposes ~39,798 Customers; Physical Attack Risk Rises
A flaw in SafePal's order-tracking plug-in exposed names, addresses and phone numbers of roughly 39,798 customers, stoking fears of physical targeting amid a surge in wrench attacks.
SafePal joins Trezor, whose ShipMonk breach exposed ~13,700 customers, and Ledger, whose 2020 leak of ~272,000 customers led to ransom threats — underscoring that physical security is now a core risk layer for self-custody users.

A flaw in SafePal's order-tracking plug-in exposed names, addresses and phone numbers of roughly 39,798 customers, stoking fears of physical targeting amid a surge in wrench attacks.
SafePal said the exposed data spans customers who placed orders between March 2, 2025, and April 11, 2026, and includes names, email addresses, shipping addresses, phone numbers and purchase details. The company stressed that wallet credentials were untouched — seed phrases, private keys, wallet passwords, bank details, payment card numbers and government IDs were not involved. SafePal, a non-custodial wallet suite backed by Binance and Animoca Brands serving 30 million users, said it has fixed the issue and notified affected customers.
While no funds were directly stolen, the mix of names, home addresses and evidence of crypto ownership is precisely the kind of data that can steer criminals toward high-net-worth holders. Chainalysis documented 46 violent incidents in the first half of 2026 with more than $30 million stolen, calling the year on pace to be the worst on record, with home invasions increasingly overtaking kidnappings.
