A 23-year-old man was abducted in Maisons-Alfort for ransom while his kidnappers demanded 5,000 euros (5,764 USD) and access to his Ledger hardware wallet.
The attackers reportedly used physical violence to gather information about the victim’s cryptocurrency holdings, which remain undisclosed.
This incident exemplifies a broader trend where criminals engage in ‘wrench attacks’ against crypto holders, occurring not only in France but also in cities like New York and India.
