For those not aware; earlier this year ledger website was hacked, exposing sensitive details of a number of users to a malicious third party - https://news.bitcoin.com/crypto-hardware-wallet-firm-ledger-hacked-one-million-customer-emails-exposed/ The breach was solved, but the information were already exposed, those details are now being used to carry out personalized phishing attempts.
I could not find any news about the affected users being messaged and warned of their data leak inorder for them to take precaution and disregard any unsolicited messages, as some of them could have likely missed the publication. I assumed this would be safe practice to protect victims of the hack.

No need to say what will happen if anyone proceeds to provide the above information...
