In brief
- ShipMonk breach exposed Trezor customer order information across seven countries.
- 11,742 customers had full exposure; 1,947 faced partial exposure of personal data.
- Trezor's 90-day data retention policy limited the scope of exposed information.
- Affected customers should verify official channels and watch for phishing attempts.

Scope of Exposed Data
The breach exposed names, email addresses, phone numbers and shipping information. 11,742 customers experienced full exposure of their name, email, phone number and shipping address, while 1,947 customers had partial exposure involving their name, city and email.
The incident highlights how third-party vendors can become weak points in the supply chain, even when the primary company maintains strong security practices. Trezor emphasized that its strict 90-day data retention policy limited the amount of information available to the shipping provider, reducing the total scope of the breach.
Phishing Risk and Customer Protection
Trezor warned that exposed customers may face targeted phishing emails, calls or other impersonation attempts. Criminals often use leaked shipping data to craft convincing social engineering campaigns targeting crypto users.
The company urged affected customers to use only official Trezor channels and never disclose their wallet backup. Trezor also recommended monitoring accounts for suspicious activity and exercising caution with unsolicited communications claiming to be from Trezor support.
Hardware wallet users remain attractive targets for phishing because compromising their seed phrases can lead to complete loss of funds. The breach underscores why users should remain vigilant about verifying communications through official channels and never sharing recovery information, regardless of how legitimate a request may appear.
