70 % aller Krypto-Wrench-Angriffe finden in Frankreich statt: Bericht

The scary part with wrench attacks is that the best defense is mostly boring personal OPSEC, not another on-chain tool. Once someone connects a real person, location, and visible crypto wealth, the risk moves offline where signatures and hardware wallets only help so much.

A few habits matter more than people want to admit: do not post portfolio screenshots, do not tie ENS/social handles to a home city or routine, keep public wallets separate from storage wallets, avoid real-time travel/location flexing, and use withdrawal delays or multisig for size so one device cannot empty everything under pressure.

Also worth separating “crypto privacy” from “physical privacy.” A wallet can be pseudonymous while the owner is completely doxxed through Telegram groups, conference photos, domain registrations, Discord names, or old marketplace accounts. For anyone with meaningful holdings, the threat model should include social mapping, not just seed phrase theft.

It makes me wonder if local exchange employees are involved somehow.

Hm, which is also where ledger is based.. now ledger sells worldwide, but maybe the french prefer to put their trust in a local company? Misplaced trust that is considering the multiple breaches they and/or their partners have had
