The threat is now very real and physical. The national prosecutor against organized crime, <strong>Vanessa Perr\u00e9e<\/strong>, dropped a bombshell this Friday: <strong>88 suspects, including about ten minors,<\/strong> have been indicted in <strong>12 cases <\/strong>of kidnapping and unlawful confinement. Out of this total, 75 are already in pretrial detention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">41 kidnappings of crypto holders in France in 3.5 months of 2026.<br><br>Why?<br><br>\ud83e\udd56 French tax officials selling crypto owners&#39; data to criminals (Ghalia C.) + massive tax database leaks.<br><br>Now the state also wants IDs and private messages of social media users.<br><br>More data = More victims.<\/p>&mdash; Pavel Durov (@durov) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/durov\/status\/2047757236508704922?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 24, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It did not take long for Telegram founder Pavel Durov to react. On X, he highlighted some chilling figures: a total of &#8220;41 kidnappings of <strong>cryptocurrency<\/strong> holders in France in just 3 and a half months in 2026.&#8221; According to him, this surge stems from data leaks linked to KYC and French crypto taxes:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n\n<p>\u201cThe French tax authorities are selling the data of cryptocurrency holders to criminals (Ghalia C.) and massive leaks of tax databases have been observed. The state is now also demanding the IDs and private messages of social media users. More data = more victims,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n<p>Indeed, the figures are staggering and confirm a massive boom in this type of crime. Since 2023, <strong>135 similar cases<\/strong> have been recorded by law enforcement. The pace is accelerating dangerously with 47 cases already registered in the first few months of 2026 alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The modus operandi of these highly organized networks is even more frightening. The victims, often identified as major <strong>holders<\/strong>, are kidnapped, held captive, and sometimes tortured until they transfer their <strong>wallets<\/strong> to the kidnappers&#8217; addresses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"data-leaks-and-organized-networks-how-are-whales-being-targeted\">Data leaks and organized networks: How are whales being targeted?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>How do these criminals manage to target <strong>whales<\/strong> and retail investors with such precision? The answer might lie in the security flaws of our institutions. Pavel Durov pointed the finger at a massive data leak in France, which exposed the personal information of nearly <strong>19 million people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This sensitive data is sold for a fortune on <strong>the darknet <\/strong>and allows criminals to execute surgical operations. The kidnappers do not strike at random: they target Web3 startup executives, influencers, and traders who flaunted their gains during the last <strong>rally<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Faced with this threat, the golden rule of &#8220;Not your keys, not your coins&#8221; takes on a tragic dimension. Securing your assets on a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/xrp-ledger-security-secrets\/\">cold wallet<\/a><\/strong> <strong>is no longer enough <\/strong>if your physical address is compromised. Experts now recommend absolute discretion to avoid becoming the next target of these crime syndicates 2.0.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"should-you-hide-your-crypto-to-survive-the-next-bull-run\">Should you hide your crypto to survive the next bull run?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>France has undeniably become the global epicenter for wrench attacks, physical assaults aimed at extorting private keys. According to cross referenced data from the police and firms like CertiK, the country accounts for an overwhelming share of these crimes in Europe, even though crypto adoption there reaches about 7 to 10 % of the population (or more than 5.5 million holders).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Since the beginning of the year, there has been one crypto kidnapping every 5 days in France.<br><br>This time they abducted a 10 year old kid and his mother.<br><br>French police forces are thankfully incredible, the problem is that everything else is dysfunctional so this wont stop anytime\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5msuLFG8KX\">https:\/\/t.co\/5msuLFG8KX<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Rand (@randhindi) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/randhindi\/status\/2044318030272799112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since the beginning of the year, there has been a crypto related kidnapping every 5 days, meaning more than one victim per week.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While French authorities are deploying massive resources to dismantle these networks, the threat still looms large. Will investors have to resort to <strong>privacy coins<\/strong> or complex financial structures to hide their true wealth? How far will criminals go to seize your precious satoshis before the next <strong>ATH<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crypto influencers are particularly at risk by exposing themselves on the internet. Obviously, the best choice remains to keep a low profile and avoid talking about crypto to the people around you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sources<\/strong>&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/coinpedia.org\/crypto-live-news\/crypto-kidnappings-surge-across-france\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Coinpedia<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/randhindi\/status\/2044318030272799112\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Rand<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/durov\/status\/2047757236508704922\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Pavel Durov<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><strong>Related Articles:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/pi-tokens-millionaire\/\">Pi Network: How many PI tokens do you need to become a millionaire?<\/a><\/li>\n  <li><a href=\"https:\/\/investx.fr\/en\/crypto-news\/bitcoin-price-drop-market-correction\/\">Why is Bitcoin dropping today?
