💥3 HOURS OF TERROR: STRUCK BY A METAMASK PASSWORD

A True Crypto Horror Story❗

Johan, a 28-year-old cryptocurrency trader from Johannesburg, lived a nightmare that no investor expects. After casually mentioning his crypto assets during a party night, he became a target. Days later, he was kidnapped from his home and woke up in an abandoned warehouse—chained, surrounded by masked men, and staring at his open Metamask wallet on a laptop.

They weren't after his phone—they wanted his seed phrase.

During three agonizing hours, Johan was tortured: crushed fingers, electric shocks, and emotional manipulation involving his son's belongings. Eventually, he gave up his 12-word recovery phrase, and within seconds, over $220,000 in crypto—all his life savings—disappeared.

This is not an isolated incident. Criminals are now using physical threats instead of digital hacks to steal crypto.

How to protect yourself:

Use a hardware wallet like Ledger or Trezor to keep your assets offline.

Set up 2FA using apps or biometrics—avoid SMS-based methods.

Create a distraction wallet with a fake seed phrase in case of coercion.

Stay discreet—don’t reveal your holdings publicly or even casually.

Stick to trusted and regulated platforms like Binance, which offer additional security features.

Johan's experience is a chilling reminder: cryptocurrencies can empower you—but without the right precautions, they can also expose you to real danger in the world.
