Countries such as the UAE and India are witnessing a significant increase in ransomware attacks targeting crypto users.
The most notable incident is the kidnapping of David Balland, co-founder of Ledger wallet, when he and his wife were kidnapped right at home in January and were fortunate to be rescued afterward.
There was also a failed kidnapping attempt aimed at the daughter of another cryptocurrency entrepreneur in France, raising alarms about the level of danger for crypto investors.
