1492In San Francisco, $11 million was stolen from the owner of cryptocurrencies.
The incident in San Francisco (USA) has become one of the largest cases of physical robbery of a crypto owner in a year. According to the police report, the attacker used a courier's uniform to gain access to the house and used a weapon to force the owner of the digital currencies to comply with his demands. The criminal tied up the victim with duct tape and demanded data from the crypto wallet, and also took the phone and laptop. Police said the crime occurred around 6:45 a.m. in the Mission Dolores neighborhood near the intersection of 18th and Dolores Streets. Information about the victim and his state of health is not disclosed.
Experts note that such cases are becoming part of a global trend called wrench attacks, and their number is growing. The researchers point out that criminals are increasingly choosing physical pressure, as it allows them to quickly gain access to cryptocurrencies without having to hack into devices. At the same time, victims find themselves in an extremely vulnerable position, because such attacks bypass most digital security systems. Crime investigations are becoming more complicated due to the rapid withdrawal of funds.
Cyber consultant David Sehen Baek said that the investigation of such cases is usually conducted in several directions at once. In the first 24-72 hours, experts try to track stolen devices and gain access to the activity of intruders. At the same time, they analyze the addresses of wallets where crypto assets could be withdrawn in order to track further transactions. Experts call this period critically important, as money can be transferred to anonymous services in a matter of minutes. However, the return of stolen funds in such situations is extremely rare.
Security researcher Jameson Lopp reported that the number of wrench attacks this year exceeded 60 cases, which is almost 2 times more than last year. He notes that crimes occur all over the world and target private users who publicly demonstrate ownership of cryptocurrencies.
A Russian detonated two grenades in the office of a crypto exchange
An unsuccessful robbery attempt occurred at an apartment hotel at 43/12 Khersonskaya Street, the police said. A young unemployed man from the Leningrad region entered the office of an exchange, lit a smoke bomb and detonated two airsoft stun grenades. Then he began to threaten the staff of the exchanger and demanded that all available crypto assets be immediately transferred to the e-wallet address indicated by him.
Detachments of the patrol and guard service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the non-departmental security of the Russian Guard arrived at the scene. They detained the man on the spot, without resistance. During the search, the security forces seized two more similar grenades. Explosives experts examined the devices and classified them as replicas created for airsoft and posing no real danger.
