The current cases in France and the USA show: Cyber attacks are no longer limited to the digital space.
Criminal groups combine digital spying with physical violence – such as kidnapping or threats – to force access to cryptocurrencies.
In France, more than 20 people were arrested following attempted kidnappings of crypto investors. In New York, an investor was tortured for weeks to extort passwords. The threat is real – and increasingly global.
Exposed entrepreneurs, investors, their families and influencers are becoming the target of such hybrid attacks.
