🚨 2025 could become the most dangerous year in history for crypto owners!
According to a new report from #GalaxyDigital and analyst #AlexThorn , in just the first half of 2025, there have been more than 25 physical attacks targeting cryptocurrency users – nearly reaching the highest level recorded in 2018.
📈 The chart from glxyresearch (source from lopp) shows that extortion, kidnapping, and violence related to crypto are escalating globally, with the UAE, India, and France standing out as hotspots.
🧨 Some notable incidents:
January 2025: Co-founder of wallet #Ledger – #DavidBalland – was kidnapped along with his wife right at home, fortunately rescued.
France: A kidnapping of the daughter of a crypto entrepreneur was thwarted at the last minute – shocking public opinion.
⚖️ A response is gradually forming:
The French government has increased protection for prominent individuals in the crypto industry.
Some businesses are beginning to implement specialized insurance packages for digital asset owners.
There is a proposal to establish a "Bitcoin Mossad" – a task force to hunt criminals aimed at protecting the global community #hodler .
🔒 The era of crypto is no longer “anonymous and completely safe.” Physical security & personal key security are now more important than ever.

CRYPTO KIDNAPPINGS SHOCK FRANCE — BRAINS BEHIND THE SCHEME CAUGHT IN MOROCCO! 🚨🪙
A 24-year-old mastermind, Badiss Mohamed Amide Bajjou, has been arrested in Morocco for orchestrating a wave of bizarre and brutal kidnappings across France — all tied to cryptocurrency extortion!
👮♂️ Interpol + French-Moroccan police worked together to track him down.
💰 Motive? Crypto ransom. Victims were tortured for access to digital assets.
Key cases included:
The attempted kidnapping of Pierre Noizat's family (CEO of Paymium exchange)
The abduction of a crypto millionaire’s father
David Ballard, co-founder of Ledger, and his wife — targeted and attacked.
Some victims were even mutilated — fingers cut off in an effort to force wallet access. 😨
🚨 More than 20 arrests, including minors, have been made in France already.
🛡️ Why this matters:
Crypto crimes are escalating — and law enforcement is finally stepping up.
French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin praised Morocco for their cooperation, calling it a major strike against organized crypto crime.
🔐 A wake-up call for the crypto world:
Use cold storage
Enable multi-factor security
Never reveal your holdings publicly
Stay safe. The bull market is exciting, but safety is wealth.

Introduction to Blockchain Technology
#Blockchain is a decentralized, digital #ledger used to record transactions across multiple computers. It ensures transparency, security, and immutability. Each "block" contains a record of transactions, and once added, it cannot be altered. Blockchain is the backbone of cryptocurrencies like $BTC and $ETH . It removes the need for intermediaries, like banks, enabling peer-to-peer transactions. The technology also powers decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts, which can automatically execute transactions once conditions are met, further expanding blockchain’s potential in various industries beyond finance.

😱 Kidnapping of Ledger co-founder – €10 million ransom and 9 fingers out of 10! 🔥
France, the crypto community is in shock! 😨 Ledger co-founder David Balland was kidnapped, demanding a ransom of €10 million in crypto. But the kidnappers decided to speed up the negotiations... by cutting off his finger and sending the video to his colleague! 😵🔪
👮♂️ Law enforcement allowed a partial transfer of funds - this helped track down the criminals and freeze most of the ransom. In the end, Balland was saved, the crypto was confiscated, and the attackers were detained.
But the main thing is his reaction after his release! 🤯 In X's profile, he updated his status:
🏆 "Kidnapping Championship 2025"
✋ "Fingers: 9/10"
💀 What a crypto thriller, not a story! Who else jokes on social media after this? 😅
Do you think this case will make crypto millionaires reconsider their security? 🤔👇

🚨🚨🚨 This week, it was revealed that a hacker named Miembro gained access to the data request portal of the Binance cryptocurrency exchange and sold this access for 10 thousand dollars. This portal was created for law enforcement and government officials and contained sensitive information of Binance users.
According to the hacker, the stolen information includes users' e-mail addresses, phone numbers, wallet addresses and exchange IDs. However, as of now, there is no clear information about whether this data is sold or how much of it is sold.
Exact information on how access to Binance's data portal is provided is not yet available. Security researchers claim that Binance gave law enforcement access to Kodex Global, and the hacker took control of the portal by infecting computers in Taiwan, Uganda and the Philippines with malware.
Cyber security experts who contacted Binance have not yet received any official statement from the exchange. Although the stolen data does not allow direct manipulation of Binance accounts, users' private information is at risk and this may expose them to various cyber threats.
After the incident, Hudson Rock security team warned all Binance users to activate two-factor authentication (2FA) and update their passwords. A similar situation previously occurred when customer data of hardware wallet provider Ledger was stolen, and users received threats from hackers.
