🚨 At least one Bitcoin user would be kidnapped or extorted every week.



At the Baltic Honeybadger 2025 conference in Riga, Alena Vranova, founder of Glok and co-founder of SatoshiLabs, highlighted the increasing frequency of "wrench attacks," physical attacks aimed at stealing private keys.

"Every week, at least one bitcoin holder in the world is kidnapped, tortured, extorted, and sometimes worse"

The data for 2025 indicates an increase in attacks, with projections forecasting double the attacks compared to the worst year.

A frightening statistic.
