The exposure of names, addresses and phone numbers is a reminder that self-custody wallets can still leak the personal data that makes users physically identifiable, even when private keys are never touched. The third-party plug-in is the weak link here, which puts the spotlight on how wallet providers vet and segment order-tracking vendors, not just their on-chain or key-management security. Whether other wallet firms disclose similar third-party exposures, and whether affected users face follow-on phishing or physical targeting, is the open question.
