France has recently experienced a series of security incidents related to cryptocurrencies. In the past 72 hours alone, there have been three attempted kidnappings targeting crypto asset holders. Even more concerning is the serious internal management loophole within the local tax authorities—an employee was exposed for leaking taxpayers' crypto asset information to an unidentified third party.

These incidents highlight risks on two levels: on one hand, individuals holding crypto assets are becoming targets for criminals, facing threats to their personal safety and property; on the other hand, government agencies still have weak links in information security management, with insufficient protection of user privacy. For the crypto community, these cases serve as a reminder of the importance of protecting personal privacy and ensuring security when holding and trading digital assets.

This wave in France is really outrageous. An insider in the tax authorities leaked asset information, and this deal directly treats holders as prey.

France's recent move is truly incredible; even the tax authorities' insiders can leak asset information. How can people still feel confident holding coins?

Is France just putting on a show? The government tax authorities are already starting to sell user information. Who would dare to believe this?

This matter in France is really outrageous; government departments themselves are the loopholes.

France's recent incident is truly outrageous; even the tax authorities can leak information? How can we trust any institution anymore... --- An attempted kidnapping has already occurred; large holders need to be more discreet. That's why I never flaunt wealth on social media. --- This is the real rug pull—government insiders are scarier than hackers, honestly. --- It turns out that custody services and hardware wallets are not redundant; privacy is the asset itself. --- No wonder so many Europeans are turning to privacy coins; it now seems even more reasonable... --- French government: "We are here to help you manage your crypto asset information"—that's how it is. --- Three attempted kidnappings? If they had succeeded, I would seriously question life itself. How reckless must they be? --- So, cold wallets, multi-signature setups, and diversified holdings are essential—none can be missing. --- Data leaks are truly a global problem; it seems no country does it particularly well. --- That's why I support decentralization—the biggest problem with centralization is exactly this.

France is really at a dead end this time. Government agencies are starting to dig into privacy, so what’s the point of talking about centralized protection?
