France: Three kidnapping attempts related to cryptocurrencies in 72 hours

In recent days, France has been facing a concerning wave of crime targeting crypto asset holders. Meanwhile, a tax official allegedly disclosed confidential information about taxpayers' crypto assets to unidentified third parties.

This situation highlights a dual threat: on one hand, the increase in assaults against cryptocurrency owners; on the other, vulnerabilities in the management of sensitive data within public institutions. Web3 users and crypto investors must be extra vigilant against these new risks.

France's latest move is incredible; even civil servants are starting to sell user information. This is why Web3 must be decentralized.

France is directly exploding here... Three kidnapping cases in three days, and insiders are even selling data from the tax bureau? This is outrageous. --- Oh my god, privacy is completely gone. Civil servants are involved in selling information, and people still expect to hold coins peacefully? --- Wait, is this true? There are rats inside the French tax department... I knew why Europe has been so unstable lately. --- Now I understand. If you're holding BTC, you should choose places with fewer people. France is not safe right now, everyone. --- Honestly, this is pretty terrifying. Not only do you have to defend against hackers, but also government employees. The difficulty is quite high. --- Why haven't the French police caught the mastermind behind this? It feels like there's an insider manipulating everything. --- Three cases in three days, this pace. It seems like professional criminal teams are targeting coin holders... Be careful, brothers. --- Public officials leak data, then gangs follow up... This pattern feels a bit familiar. --- I just want to ask, how are coin holders in France living now? This is way too intense.

This move by France is really outrageous. An insider in the tax authorities leaked data, directly targeting crypto holders as prey? Awareness of security needs to be raised.
