U.S. users account for one-third, and Twitter employees love Ledger the most.
Written: 7
A contains over 270,000 account information database files became the became the Bitcoin wallet hardware manufacturer Ledger nightmare, this document in RaidForums (for a hacker trading platform and share data) is already It was sold at a very low price, and it was widely spread in a very short time. This is undoubtedly a ” fatal challenge ” for Ledger, which has long emphasized providing the highest level of protection services.
In July this year, Ledger officials publicly disclosed a hacking attack, and pointed out that in June this year 9,500 user information was stolen by hackers. However, judging from the latest version of data circulating on the Internet, Ledger was hacked in June this year. The user data leaked during the attack is probably far more than 9,500.
In the past ten hours, a large number of users under the Twitter label of Ledger Hack have confirmed the authenticity of this document through query and comparison of the leaked file, that is to say, the total amount of leaked data has actually reached There are as many as 272,852 entries , and this part of the data includes the user’s email address, mobile phone number, zip code, and recipient address (this address is likely to be the user’s company address or even home address).
Ledger’s official Twitter has also publicly stated that this document “seems” to be the data stolen by hackers in the June attack this year, and once again expressed apologies to users in the official announcement, and said that it is to avoid similar situations from happening again. The current top priority of the team’s work is also a promise that Ledger will be safer in the future. However, Ledger CEO Pascal Gauthier has made it clear in an interview, Ledger user information was not leaked any form of compensation.
Considering that the key information of the user’s hardware wallet is not stored in the Ledger official database, this data breach will not have a direct impact on the user’s assets for the time being, but it will inevitably be caused by the ” binding leak ” of various contact methods. Some potential hazards, so if personal information is involved in the documents circulating on the Internet, changing your email address, mobile phone number or even moving can be considered an effective solution to actively control risks.
However, it was this information leakage incident that gave us a rare opportunity to make user portraits for Ledger. Next, I will share some strange ” cold knowledge ” about Ledger users without involving any personal user information. , If you are also interested in who actually bought the hardware wallet, then the following content should solve some of your doubts.
The US market accounts for one-third of the market, and the popularity of “coin speculation” cannot be equated with the number of users
Among the 272,852 pieces of information, the number of users in the United States accounted for one-third, reaching 91,442. The number of users in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Canada ranked 2-5, but the total number of users in these four countries was far from the United States There is still a big gap in the number of users. The number of users in mainland China is 2933, ranked No. 17 ranking in major countries and regions, and the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan should the region together, the total Ledger users in China can surpass Italy to 11th place overall ranking.
As can be seen from the following data, North America and Europe are still Ledger’s main target markets. Although East Asia and Southeast Asia have seen a significant increase in the popularity of the cryptocurrency market, users’ demand for hardware wallets is still relatively low. Above the level, the “major currency speculators” China, Japan, and South Korea are not high in this ranking.
Another point worth noting is that although Venezuelans have a high demand for over-the-counter transactions of Bitcoin, due to the poor domestic economic situation, the cost of hardware wallets represented by Ledger is still a relatively obvious burden for users in this country. Although Bitcoin OTC transactions in Venezuela are hot, the number of users of Ledger is very limited, with only 15 of the 270,000 pieces of data.
North, Shanghai, Guangzhou in mainland China is not unexpectedly a densely populated area
I also sorted out the information contained explicit information data region provinces of mainland China, but because there is a lot of information is missing in the document, the following results are not carried out on the basis of a simple comparison of the zip code, containing only comes with a clear address Therefore, there is a certain deviation between the total amount of data and the total amount of mainland China shown in the above figure, which is relatively higher than the absolute amount ratio.
Shanghai, Beijing, and Guangdong provinces are not surprisingly ranked in the top three, while the bottom-ranked provinces are basically the central and western provinces. It is worth mentioning that the current domestic mine relatively concentrated areas there has been no significant hardware requirements wallet, we can see the target users of such products, namely individual investors, and the corresponding economic conditions of the region and for the acceptance of encryption currency It has become the main factor affecting the number of Ledger users, or even an “absolute factor”.
The number of users in the economically developed big cities in the United States is also significantly higher
Somewhat surprisingly, San Francisco, where Silicon Valley is located, did not take the top spot in this ranking. New York, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn surpassed this perhaps the world’s top three regions with the highest acceptance of cryptocurrencies. this can be seen at present the American public as a whole for the acceptance of encryption currency has improved, denser population of users metropolitan Ledger also appeared in the same proportion rises.
Which employee of the major technology giants loves Ledger more
In the statistical American cities ranking process, it also specifically inquired about the amount of users reserve address for the headquarters location and big tech giants including Microsoft and Twitter FAANG including a few and found some interesting results. Among the seven technology giants mentioned above, FAANG, which is often mentioned by the market, has far less user information than Twitter.
Twitter headquarters address (1355 Market Street Suite 900 San Francisco, CA 94103) There are 111 user information;
The Facebook headquarters address (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025) has 35 messages;
Apple headquarters address (1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, CA 95014) 39;
Amazon headquarters address (410 Terry Avenue North, Seattle, WA 98109) 27;
Netflix headquarters address (100 Winchester Circle, Los Gatos, CA 95032) 23;
Address of Google headquarters (Mountain View, CA 94043) 46;
In addition to Microsoft headquarters address (1 MICROSOFT WAY, REDMOND, WA 98052-6399) Total 40.
Although the number of such addresses and does not reflect the total amount of users correspond employees use Ledger, but was dominant aspect of Twitter data, or showing the side of the propagation properties of the encryption currency on social media platforms.
Out of curiosity, the author also inquired about the information of Tencent headquarters located in Shennan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen and Ali headquarters located in Wenyi West Road, Yuhang District, Hangzhou. Both found only 1 result, but considering The lack of Chinese information, coupled with the low number of samples in mainland China, so the reference value is not high.
If you want to engrave your name on Ledger, what should you pay attention to?
This may be the “coldest” piece of information in this article. The author counted the names with the highest frequency in the 270,000 messages. Among them, Micheal , David, and Daniel are among the top three. Even if the total number of users named Micheal gets the first picture, it is the one of the major countries and regions in the world. In the user ranking, it can also be ranked 12th. Of course, due to the extremely high proportion of American users, this ranking is actually very similar to the high-frequency vocabulary ranking in the names of Americans, but if you want to have a personalized laser seal engraving on your Ledger, how can you avoid it? Not individual “, the following table will help you.
