According to The Wall Street Journal, cases of kidnapping cryptocurrency company owners and their families for ransom in cryptocurrency have increased worldwide. Attacks, including brutal acts such as finger amputations, have been recorded in Paris, the USA, Asia, and other regions. Victims include bloggers, investors, and executives of cryptocurrency exchanges such as Paymium. Criminals exploit vulnerabilities in the digital world, demanding transfers in bitcoins or other assets, complicating tracking.
These incidents highlight the risks associated with wealth in the cryptocurrency industry, where anonymity and decentralization attract not only investors but also criminals. Experts urge to enhance security measures, including protection of personal data and physical security. Authorities in several countries have already begun investigations, but the complexity of cross-border operations makes it difficult to combat this phenomenon.
