In 2025, 52 wrench attacks targeting cryptocurrency holders were reported globally, underscoring growing security concerns. A notable incident in Herzliya, Israel, involved a crypto trader who was violently robbed of $547,260 in Bitcoin, $42,248 in USDT, a $50,000 Rolex, and a Trezor hardware wallet. Authorities arrested a suspect on September 10, utilizing recorded calls, voice analysis, and surveillance footage to track the alleged organizer. Security experts attribute the increase in such attacks to the high on-chain values and the traceability of cryptocurrency transfers, which make crypto holders attractive targets for criminals.
