A wave of cyber and physical attacks targeting the cryptocurrency sector and digital platforms has escalated globally in 2025. Nearly 184 million login credentials, including passwords for Apple, Gmail, Instagram, Google, Meta, and some government accounts, were leaked in a major data breach. Experts warn that the root cause is the centralized storage of passwords and vaults, which remain vulnerable to breaches. Concurrently, violent crimes against crypto executives and their families have surged, with reports of kidnappings, home invasions, pistol-whippings, and even finger amputations. These "wrench attacks" are occurring worldwide, raising concerns about the safety of entrepreneurs and their relatives in the crypto industry. In France, there has been an unprecedented rise in kidnappings and assaults linked to cryptocurrency ownership. Additionally, a recent breach at Coinbase exposed sensitive Know Your Customer (KYC) data such as names, addresses, and Social Security numbers, though no crypto assets were stolen. This has sparked debate about whether mandatory identity collection is protecting users or making them more vulnerable to kidnappings and blackmail. Cybersecurity experts emphasize the need for improved account security measures as the frequency and ruthlessness of these attacks increase. Separately, a data breach at IT services company Serviceaide potentially exposed sensitive information of up to 483,126 Catholic Health patients in November 2024.
