French authorities have indicted 88 members of a criminal organization for violent crimes against cryptocurrency holders, Decrypt reported. The group includes around 10 minors. Since 2023, France has seen 135 violent incidents targeting crypto holders, known as "wrench attacks." Authorities have warned about the seriousness of the incidents, which they say combine personal data leaks with organized crime networks, and are urging crypto holders to limit their exposure on social media.
