Edge Wallet Says Zendesk Breach Exposed User Emails, but Funds Remain Safe
Edge Wallet has warned users that a data breach at its former customer support provider, Zendesk, exposed email addresses used to contact the company between September 2018 and May 2024.
The incident did not expose Edge wallets, private keys, wallet data or user funds, the company said on X. Edge stopped using Zendesk after May 2024, limiting the breach to information shared with its support team.

The exposed email addresses could be used in phishing and impersonation attempts. Edge urged users to avoid suspicious links, attachments and requests for personal information.
Support emails do not provide access to wallets or authenticate transactions, the company said. The company also said its wallets operate through mobile applications, while private keys remain on users’ devices.
As a result, attackers cannot directly access funds through Edge’s servers using the exposed information. Users should verify suspicious messages through the Edge mobile app or official support channels instead of responding to unexpected requests.
