A hacker is dumping the Ledger database for free on forums.. emails, phone numbers, addresses etc.. 
Expect huge spam and phishing waves for people owning a Ledger.

I have gotten at least 20 spam emails. /yawn
What this hacker is doing is putting people at serious risk of physical extortion attacks! People may be be kidnapped, tortured and even killed because of his actions. This is a criminal act, and I really hope this hacker is found, arrested and put to jail for life.
That's not even a hacker. It's a troll.
If ledger doesnt grant my "right to be forgotten" as an EU company, to an EU citizen, they're gonna get into trouble, i swear.
They have to send me a proof of deletion. I soon will issue an ultimatum, otherwise my lawyers phone will ring my tune.
News coverage of ledger trying to escape the law would be candy.

I'm with you on this. I was not affected, purely out of luck (purchased a Ledger from those jokers in 2017—one year before the leaked data), but I'm pretty sure they still have my details.
I'm an EU citizen too. If there is a law or other legal/official info I can use to threaten them in the email I'm going to send them, please let me know, either publicly (maybe here, for the benefit of all), or via PM. I also want to make sure they completely erase my data from their servers.
And I do hope they go bankrupt—I think they will, given that their blunder directly negates their sales pitch for their h/w wallets. Who, in their right mind, would buy a Ledger, or use their online services, after what happened? The Ledger may be a solid product, but I prefer the mafia way of dealing with such issues: "When in doubt, kill 'em all!"
I was lucky too, not affected.
I also browsed and searched the leaked content, and there are surprisingly more customers in my area (within 50km) than i thought.
However, to every name i was visualizing a face getting smashed with a hammer, so i quit sniffing in the file.
Here's your pointer:
