France has recorded 90 cases of crypto-related kidnappings, extortion, and violent theft in the first eight months of 2026, with police making 223 arrests. This surge is linked to major data breaches in 2024 and 2026 that exposed personal and crypto-holding information of French taxpayers, making them targets for criminals. Notably, over 40% of victims in France are relatives of crypto holders, highlighting a disturbing trend of kidnappings. Authorities now treat these crimes as organized crime, urging crypto holders to protect their information and consider advanced security measures beyond standard wallet protection.
