Bitcoin holders are facing frequent violent crimes, and the leak of information from 80 million users exacerbates the risk.

Recently, the Crypto Assets community is facing a severe security challenge. Industry experts have warned that violent crimes targeting digital asset holders are on the rise. The expert pointed out that globally, at least one Bitcoin holder is kidnapped, tortured, or extorted each week, sometimes resulting in even more serious consequences.

It is worth noting that this type of crime is not only targeted at large holders. Even small-scale Crypto Assets investors can become targets of criminals. Reports have shown that someone was kidnapped for holding $6,000 worth of Crypto Assets, and others have been murdered for owning $50,000 worth of digital assets.

What is even more concerning is that a large amount of personal information of Crypto Assets users has been leaked online. It is estimated that the identity information of over 80 million Bitcoin holders and Crypto Assets users has been exposed, among which about 2.2 million records also include users' home addresses. This undoubtedly increases the risk of users being attacked.

Experts also pointed out that such attack incidents are closely related to the price trend of Bitcoin. During market bull runs, criminals tend to be more active, leading to a significant rise in the frequency of attacks.

Given the current situation, Crypto Assets holders need to be particularly vigilant and take necessary security measures to protect their assets and personal information. At the same time, the entire industry should also strengthen cooperation to jointly address this increasingly serious security threat.

Not even letting go of 6000? That's ridiculous.

Fortunately, it's turned into negative assets, so it's safe now.
