Crypto Wallet Maker SafePal Confirms Data Breach Affecting 40,000 Customers

Coindesk · 16 Aug 2026

Key Takeaway If you use a service that's suffered a breach, be extra cautious of follow-up phishing attempts and never share passwords or seed phrases via email or text.

SafePal, a company that makes cryptocurrency hardware wallets, has revealed a data breach that exposed personal order details belonging to almost 40,000 customers. The company has confirmed that no private keys, seed phrases, or crypto assets were accessed, meaning customers' funds should remain secure.

While the exposed information appears limited to order-related details rather than financial credentials, breaches like this still carry risk. Attackers can use exposed personal and order data to craft convincing phishing emails or scam messages, often impersonating the affected company to trick customers into revealing sensitive information later.

SafePal customers should be alert to unexpected emails or messages referencing their orders, and treat any request for wallet credentials, seed phrases, or passwords with suspicion, as legitimate companies will never ask for these details.
