Golden Finance reports that cryptocurrency traders are increasingly becoming targets of kidnapping and extortion, as highlighted by several cases in recent weeks. A man in France was kidnapped nearly 500 kilometers away, and the kidnappers demanded a ransom from his son, who is a cryptocurrency influencer, through a crypto network; a trader in Pakistan was forced to transfer $340,000 on Binance; the CEO of Canada's WonderFi was released after paying a million-dollar ransom due to kidnapping. According to data from blockchain analysis company Chainalysis, ransomware gangs extorted over $1.1 billion from victims through cryptocurrency in 2023. The rapid expansion of the crypto market is attracting more crime, increasing security risks for investors.
