Intelligence Summary

Crypto hardware wallet owners are facing increased real-world risk after recent personal data thefts. The article says shipping companies were targeted and used to mail out hardware wallets. That approach can expose crypto users to more direct attacks beyond online compromise. The risk stems from stolen personal data being leveraged for follow-on targeting. Hardware wallet users should verify delivery and take extra precautions against real-world impersonation and theft.
