Crypto Wrench Attacks Rise in France: Masked Gunmen Steal Crypto USB

The report indicates that over 14 crypto-related attacks were documented in France last year. The development highlights growing concerns around the physical security of cryptocurrency assets, particularly as adoption increases. These types of attacks, where individuals are physically coerced into handing over their crypto holdings, present a unique challenge to the digital asset space.
