"Severed Fingers and ‘Wrench Attacks’ Rattle the Crypto Elite
As bitcoin soars, investors and executives are taking their swollen digital wallets offline for safety. Criminals are coming after them, violently."
... In short, crooks are literally torturing people, medieval style, to force them to turn over their Bitcoin wallet passwords. Ominously, Coinbase, one of the world’s largest online digital wallet providers, just admitted that someone stole their customer database, so the criminals know exactly where to go looking:
Those concerns intensified this week with cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase disclosing that as
many as 97,000 customers have had their personal information stolen, including addresses and
balance snapshots. The company said the data was likely stolen by bribed contractors or
employees working in customer support, and that it had refused a $20 million ransom demand.
