🚨 Crypto Kidnappings on the Shocking Rise – Prioritize Your Safety! 🚨
Friends, the craze for crypto is increasing, but along with it, a dangerous trend is also on the rise… and honestly, I was shocked to hear this 😳
Alena Vranova (founder of SatoshiLabs) says that at least one Bitcoiner is kidnapped every week in the world — just to get their wallet keys! And this isn't just happening to big whales… people with even $6,000 are being targeted. Just imagine, people have been killed for $50,000 worth of crypto! 💀
And the biggest thing — info of over 80 million crypto users has been leaked online… including home addresses of 2.2 million. This means if a thief gets your home address, understand that the danger has doubled.
These attacks are called "$5 Wrench Attacks" — no one will hack your hardware wallet, they’ll just put a wrench to your head and say: "Give me the seed phrase." 🤯
In France, police recently arrested more than 20 people who were planning to kidnap crypto entrepreneurs. And in just one month, 5 abductions were reported that were linked to wrench attacks.
Jameson Lopp (co-founder of Casa) had already predicted that there would be an average of 1 attack per week this year… and now it seems he is being proven right.
🔑 Tips for Your Safety:
Don't flaunt your crypto holdings, don't flex on social media
Use multisig wallets so that funds cannot be withdrawn even if one key is obtained
Keep your crypto in cold storage and store keys in different places
Do not make your address, personal info, or travel plans public
The future of crypto is bright 💎, but don't ignore your safety — otherwise there's no benefit to a secure blockchain when you're physically
