Recently, France exposed a serious case of abuse within the tax system. A female public official working in the tax department is suspected of abusing her authority to illegally access a large amount of personal information. The queried individuals include prison guards, cryptocurrency investors, and even well-known business figures. Even more concerning is that this sensitive information was subsequently provided to organized crime groups for use.

This incident highlights a real issue: what risks do cryptocurrency investors face regarding information security within the traditional financial regulatory system? When insiders in institutions like tax agencies and banks are compromised, our privacy defenses become quite fragile. The suspect is a 32-year-old female staff member who has been under investigation since late June this year.

For those involved in cryptocurrency investing, this case serves as a reflection point. When using traditional financial services to transfer on-chain assets in and out, personal information can be accessed at multiple points. While we cannot completely avoid interactions with traditional systems, we can reduce risks by staying vigilant and using privacy protection tools. This is also why more and more users are paying attention to decentralized identity verification and privacy protection technologies.
