Help! Ledger Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet Database Hack: aantonop Emergency Livestream Q&A

We've now learned that the Ledger cryptocurrency hardware wallet database hack affected 300,000 people who have either purchased a hardware wallet from the company, joined Ledger's mailing list, or otherwise had contact with the company. Is your name, address, email included in the Ledger database breach? In this event, we will be talking about keeping your bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies secure, even though your data has been published. We'll also talk about how to prevent your name from appearing on these sorts of databases in the future.

We first believed that Ledger's database breach affected 9,000 people. But now that Ledger's customer list has been published on hacking websites, we know that more than 300,000 have been affected. What should you do? You bought a hardware wallet to keep your crypto safe. But phishing attacks on ledger hardware wallet users have been happening over the past weeks and now they're guaranteed to increase. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, what's known as personally identifiable information, has been leaked. And people aren't sure what to do. If you're on the list, what can you do to minimize the risks and maximize your security right now?
