احذر! العديد من حالات السطو العنيف على الأصول المشفرة في فرنسا، وأوروبا تصبح منطقة عالية الجريمة

【Block Rhythm】Recently in the crypto circle, stay extra vigilant — Europe’s security situation is not optimistic. On January 9, a shocking incident occurred in Manosque, France, where three masked men broke into a residential property and forcibly seized a USB drive containing cryptocurrency data at gunpoint. The victim was subjected to violence but fortunately suffered no serious injuries, escaped on their own after a few minutes, and called the police. Local authorities have launched an investigation.

This is not an isolated case. According to a public database maintained by Casa Chief Technology Officer Jameson Lopp, more than 70 violent incidents involving cryptocurrency were recorded globally last year. France has apparently become a disaster area — more than 14 related serious criminal cases in Europe occurred here. Why has France become a breeding ground for crypto asset crime? The perspective of cybercrime consultant David Sehyeon is worth considering: “France itself has a high base crime rate, entrepreneurs, traders, and industry public figures hold substantial amounts of digital assets, coupled with rising awareness of local digital asset knowledge, all of which create opportunities for speculators and organized crime groups.”

This reminds us to be extremely careful when holding large amounts of crypto assets — keep a low profile and prioritize security.
