Ist Ledger vertrauenswürdig, nachdem ihre Datenbank gehackt wurde im Juli 2020?
...Ledger made headlines when it was revealed that their user database was hacked in July 2020. In December 2020, a data dump indicated that 1 million email addresses and the personal information of 270,000 Ledger users were exposed. Ledger also announced that over 20,000 users’ details were hacked due to an inside job at Shopify. The company has since announced new measures to deal with the crisis.

The data leak has resulted in a prolonged phishing campaign where many Ledger users have been tricked through emails and their crypto holdings stolen after they reveal their recovery seed in order to “update” their device. Other cases of SIM swapping and even threats of home invasions and physical violence were reported by users.

Accepted Answer

Ciao... Yes it is. I also bought my Ledger at Digitec and am not affected by the hack. Unlike some friends who bought directly from Ledger.
The hardware wallet was and is not Ledger's problem. The ecommerce shop used by Ledger had weak points, which led to the hack.

I swear by Ledger and have been with the crypto stuff for a few years!
