France has seen a surge in violent crimes targeting cryptocurrency holders, with attackers using leaked personal data from providers exposing client information. Despite hardware wallets maintaining key security, exposed client data linking holders to physical addresses has led to home invasions and thefts, raising urgent privacy and data retention concerns in the crypto industry.
