France records 68 physical attacks on crypto holders in 2026
- —68 attacks in France vs 59 in the US and 24 in the UK
- —41 incidents in the first nine months of 2026, nearly 3x the 2025 pace
- —Home invasions and kidnappings account for 45% of cases
- —26% of attacks ended in payment by late June 2026, down from 67% in 2024
Why it matters: The surge shows that data leaks and public exposure of crypto holders are becoming a physical security risk, not just a digital one.
