Crypto Holders Beware: Kidnappings Now Happening Weekly—Here’s How to Stay Safe

Crypto wealth isn't just attracting investors—it's painting targets on backs. With one kidnapping reported weekly, digital asset holders are facing unprecedented physical risks.

Security experts point to blockchain's transparency paradox: while transactions are pseudonymous, flashy displays of crypto wealth make holders vulnerable. Cold wallets won't stop a cold-blooded abduction.

Meanwhile, traditional finance brokers sip champagne as they whisper 'told you so' about volatility risks—just not the kind they expected.

These so-called “wrench attacks” are fueled by personal data leaks from centralized exchanges, which often expose home addresses and other private details, making investors easy targets.

The growing danger has pushed insurers and private security firms to roll out  specifically tailored for people involved in digital assets. For many, personal safety is becoming as important as safeguarding their crypto wallets.
