What to Do After the Trezor / ShipMonk Data Breach (2026)

On August 10, 2026, hardware wallet maker Trezor disclosed that its shipping partner ShipMonk was breached, exposing names, email addresses, phone numbers, and shipping addresses for roughly 13,689 customers who placed orders between May 10 and August 8, 2026. If you bought a Trezor device in that window, assume your contact details are now in criminal hands — targeted phishing at your home address is the number-one risk. Change any passwords tied to that email, harden your Trezor recovery seed, and get your data off broker sites where attackers can pivot to other accounts under your name.

What Happened

Attackers exploited a vulnerability in Metabase, a third-party analytics platform used by ShipMonk (Trezor's shipping and logistics partner). On August 6, 2026, Metabase notified ShipMonk of unauthorized access; ShipMonk in turn alerted Trezor on August 10.

The compromise touched customers in the United States, United Kingdom, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal. Trezor confirmed:

• 11,742 customers had full exposure: name, email address, phone number, and shipping address
• 1,947 customers had partial exposure limited to name, city, and email
• Trezor's own systems, wallets, and firmware were not compromised — customer devices remain secure

Step 1: Confirm Whether You Were Affected

Trezor is emailing affected customers directly. You can also check Have I Been Pwned — the RingCentral and Trezor breaches were added to the database in mid-August 2026.

If you placed a Trezor order between May 10 and August 8, 2026, assume exposure until you confirm otherwise.

Step 2: Never Enter Your Recovery Seed Anywhere

The single biggest risk after this breach is phishing that targets your recovery seed. Trezor will never ask you to type or upload your 12- or 24-word recovery seed into any website, email, form, or support portal — not even after a breach, not even to "verify your account."

• Ignore any email claiming to be from Trezor asking you to "validate," "secure," or "migrate" your wallet
• Never enter your seed into Trezor Suite unless you initiated a wallet recovery yourself on your own device
• Never enter your seed into a browser extension, mobile app, or web page under any circumstance

Step 3: Harden the Email and Phone Number That Leaked

The email address and phone number in the breach are now tied to your identity as a crypto holder. Change every password on any account that uses that email — starting with high-value ones (banking, brokerage, exchanges, cloud storage, primary email account).

1. Enable hardware or app-based 2FA on every crypto exchange and financial account. Do not use SMS 2FA — SIM-swapping attacks are the natural next step for attackers who now have your phone number.
2. Call your carrier and add a port-out PIN or account lock to protect against SIM-swap attempts.
3. Use unique passwords managed in a password manager (1Password, Bitwarden). Password reuse is what turns a shipping-vendor breach into a bank drain.
4. Set up email aliases for future purchases and financial accounts (Fastmail, Apple Hide My Email, Firefox Relay) so no single email becomes the target again.

Step 4: Screen for Phishing at Your Home Address

Because home addresses were exposed, expect physical mail claiming to be from Trezor or another crypto brand asking you to scan a QR code, call a phone number, or return a form. These are common attacks after any breach that leaks physical addresses.

• Never scan QR codes from unsolicited postal mail
• Never call phone numbers printed on unexpected letters — go to the company's official website and use the number listed there
• File a report with the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov if you receive a mail-based phishing attempt tied to this breach

Step 5: Freeze Your Credit

Even though this breach didn't expose Social Security numbers or financial account data, freezing your credit is free, easy, and blocks identity theft attempts that use leaked details as pivot points. Freeze your credit with all three US bureaus:

• Equifax
• Experian
• TransUnion

A freeze prevents new accounts from being opened in your name and does not affect your credit score or existing accounts.

Step 6: Get Your Data Off Data Brokers

Attackers who now have your name and email from the Trezor breach will use data broker sites to enrich the profile — finding your relatives, your workplace, your other phone numbers, previous addresses, and property records. This enrichment step is what turns a small breach into a targeted attack.

Removing yourself from data brokers cuts off that enrichment. PrivacyOn automates this for 100+ people-search and background-check sites, includes 24/7 dark web monitoring to alert you if the leaked data resurfaces, and covers up to 5 people on a family plan — all from $8.33/month.

Step 7: Monitor for Dark Web Circulation

The Trezor / ShipMonk dataset has already been posted publicly by the ShinyHunters-affiliated attacker group in similar recent breaches. Once data is on the dark web, it circulates indefinitely across scraper databases and criminal marketplaces. Continuous dark web monitoring alerts you when your email, phone, or password appears in a new leak so you can rotate credentials before attackers use them.

PrivacyOn includes dark web monitoring in every plan, alongside data broker removal, so you get both the enrichment cleanup and the ongoing credential monitoring in one subscription.

Start with a free PrivacyOn scan to see what data brokers currently list about you. If you were affected by the Trezor / ShipMonk breach, removing those broker listings is the single fastest way to shrink the attack surface criminals will use to phish you.

Frequently Asked Questions

Were Trezor devices or wallets compromised in the ShipMonk breach?

No. Trezor confirmed that its own systems, wallets, firmware, and customer devices were not compromised. The breach was limited to shipping data (name, email, phone, address) held by ShipMonk, Trezor's shipping and logistics partner, and stemmed from a vulnerability in the Metabase analytics platform ShipMonk used. Your Trezor device and recovery seed remain secure — provided you never entered the seed anywhere it shouldn't be.

How many customers were affected by the Trezor / ShipMonk breach?

Approximately 13,689 Trezor customers were affected. Of those, 11,742 had full exposure including name, email address, phone number, and shipping address, while 1,947 had partial exposure limited to name, city, and email. The affected customers span the US, UK, Sweden, Colombia, Brazil, Italy, and Portugal, and placed orders between May 10 and August 8, 2026.

What should I do first if my Trezor data was leaked?

Assume phishing is imminent. Never enter your Trezor recovery seed anywhere — Trezor will never ask for it, especially not after a breach. Enable app-based or hardware 2FA on every financial account, add a port-out PIN with your mobile carrier to block SIM-swap attacks, and freeze your credit at all three US bureaus. Then remove your data from broker sites (PrivacyOn covers 100+ from $8.33/month) so attackers cannot enrich the leaked contact info into a full dossier.

Can attackers steal my crypto from this breach?

Not directly. Your Trezor recovery seed and private keys were not exposed. However, attackers now know you own crypto, know your name, phone, and home address, and will use that to run targeted phishing — fake support calls, fake "security alerts," fake recovery workflows, or SIM-swap attempts on your carrier account. The threat is social engineering, not a direct wallet compromise, so the defenses are 2FA, carrier account locks, seed-phrase discipline, and shrinking your public data footprint.

Is dark web monitoring worth it after a breach like this?

Yes. Breach data leaked publicly by groups like ShinyHunters circulates on the dark web indefinitely and gets re-mixed into new combined datasets over time. Continuous dark web monitoring alerts you when your email, phone number, or password appears in a new leak so you can rotate credentials before attackers use them. PrivacyOn includes dark web monitoring on every plan alongside data broker removal — starting at $8.33/month for one person or a family of up to five.

How do I know if I was affected by the Trezor / ShipMonk breach?

Trezor is emailing affected customers directly. You can also check Have I Been Pwned, which added the Trezor / ShipMonk breach to its database in mid-August 2026. If you placed a Trezor order between May 10 and August 8, 2026, assume exposure until you confirm otherwise and follow the steps above.
