Ledger for its part assured that Global-e had access neither to customer passwords, nor to their balances on the blockchain (or “blockchain”, the technology of storage and transmission of information which allows the functioning of cryptocurrencies), nor to “any secrets” linked to their digital assets.
In its statement, the company called on its customers to remain vigilant against possible phishing attempts and to never disclose the recovery code linked to their asset portfolio, consisting of 24 words.
