Crypto Holders, Beware: Kidnappings Happen Every Week
At the Baltic Honeybadger 2025 conference, SatoshiLabs founder Alena Vranova dropped a chilling fact:
> “Every week, at least one Bitcoiner somewhere in the world is kidnapped, tortured, or worse.”
These crimes, known as wrench attacks, target people for their private keys — and you don’t need to be a whale to be at risk.
📌 Real cases:
Kidnapping over just $6,000 in crypto.
Murder for $50,000 worth of Bitcoin.
🔒 Stay safe: Keep your holdings private, use secure storage, and remember — crypto security isn’t just online, it’s physical too.
