SafePal has become the latest hardware-wallet provider to disclose a security incident, after an authorization flaw exposed personal information from about 40,000 customers.

The Aug. 16 disclosure extends a run of security problems involving hardware-wallet companies and their users, including recent incidents affecting Trezor, Ledger and Coldcard.

How the breach occurred

SafePal said the breach originated in the company's e-commerce infrastructure. According to the firm, an authorization flaw in its order-tracking system allowed unauthorized access to customer records covering purchases made between March 2, 2025, and April 11, 2025.

The company described the incident as stemming from a flaw in its order system that turned into a broader data exposure affecting the roughly 40,000 customers whose records fell within that purchase window.

The disclosure follows a pattern of security issues across the hardware-wallet industry, with other providers such as Trezor, Ledger and Coldcard having reported similar incidents recently, as hardware-wallet attacks have escalated from data leaks to large-scale theft, including cases involving losses of $100 million.
