Supplier Data Breaches Are Driving Physical Attacks on Crypto Holders

  • France has recorded more than 70 violent crypto-related incidents since January
  • A breach at a Trezor shipping provider exposed over 80,000 customers
  • Over 40% of French incidents targeted a relative rather than the holder
  • Home invasions made up 37% of documented attacks by mid-2026, up from 26% in 2023
Why it matters: Leaked customer data at crypto providers creates physical risks for holders, raising pressure on the industry to limit data retention and verify deletion.
