🚨 Alena Vranova, Trezor co-founder, launches GLOK,
a new service to protect Bitcoiners from physical kidnappings and extortions. We're only in June 2025 and yet there are already more crypto kidnappings than in 2024. And these criminals aren't just targeting crypto millionaires, 0.2 BTC can be enough to make you a target.
"Around 18 million identities of cryptocurrency owners, including 2.2 million with personal addresses, are circulating on the darknet, largely due to data leaks from exchange platforms like Gemini and Coinbase. It's estimated that out of 700 million to 1 billion cryptocurrency owners worldwide, 70 to 80% of them have done KYC verification," says Vranova.
GLOK offers:
- A private geolocation app with emergency alerts
- Anti-kidnapping training from professionals
- A step-by-step guide to securing your life, not just your private keys.
