PANews reported on July 9 that EthCC participant Evan L. (@evanincrypto) posted on the X platform that he was robbed in Brussels and suffered a serious knee injury, but was otherwise fine. This was his first visit to Brussels and Europe. He stressed that this incident does not represent the situation of the entire country and reminded everyone to pay attention to safety. According to the comments below his post, this is not an isolated case, and several people have had the same experience.

In addition, KILT Protocol Growth Director posted on the X platform: “Be careful when hanging out in Brussels and around the EthCC venue, many thugs target cryptocurrency people. Someone just tried to attack and rob me, and I had to beat up the bastard. I also heard about similar things from another person who was robbed.”
