With Bitcoin booming and crypto adoption skyrocketing, a dark side is emerging — and Binance is sounding the alarm. The crypto giant just unveiled a *5-step action plan* in response to a chilling trend: a rise in **physical attacks** targeting crypto holders.
The threat is real. In 2019, there was just *one* reported crypto-related kidnapping. In the first five months of 2025 alone? *Fifteen*. Criminals are shifting tactics. As hacking gets harder, they’re now resorting to old-school intimidation — real-world attacks, kidnappings, and worse.
Binance’s Physical Security team is urging every crypto user to stay vigilant and follow their newly released 5-point safety strategy:
1. Limit public exposure: No flexing your crypto online. Keep wallets, transactions, and crypto chatter off social media.
2. Tighten social media privacy: Make accounts private. No geotags, no live travel updates. Post vacation pics *after* you’re home.
More tips are coming, but the message is clear: the price of Bitcoin isn’t the only thing rising. If you’re in crypto, it’s time to think beyond passwords and firewalls — *your personal safety could be on the line*.
Stay alert. Stay private. Stay safe. This isn’t just dig
ital anymore.
