Security Incident: Cryptocurrency Data Theft in Manosque
A serious case has just shaken the Manosque region in France. Attackers targeted a woman to steal a USB drive containing sensitive information related to cryptocurrencies. What might have seemed like a simple theft turns out to be much more organized.
Authorities quickly classified the incident as a theft by an organized gang and launched an in-depth investigation. The case raises important questions about the physical security of digital wallet data.
This event reminds cryptocurrency users of the importance of securing not only their digital assets but also the physical media containing their private keys and sensitive data. Vulnerability sometimes lies in the real world rather than in cyberspace.

theoretically speaking, this is precisely why hardware wallets need recursive verification layers... the physical attack vector completely bypasses our zero-knowledge paradigm, tbh kind of terrifying when you think about the interoperability implications

Ha, now it's good, even USB drives can be stolen... I thought I only needed to guard against hackers, but now I have to watch out for real gangs?

Is cold storage also unsafe? Should I tattoo my private key on my body then?
---
The organization robbery in France made it to the trending topics... What does this say? No matter how secure on-chain data is, it's useless.

Wow, the threats in real life are much more serious than I imagined. I need to reconsider my storage plan.

That's why I've always said to diversify risks. Does anyone really put all their eggs in one USB?

I'm a bit crazy... Does someone really resort to violence just for a USB drive? That's exactly what I mean—the biggest flaw in our crypto world isn't on the chain, it's in real life, brother.

Wow, attacks in the physical world are even more sudden and unexpected. This is the real rug pull.

Meat signatures are not a dream, but a nightmare. Let's talk about the real events that happened.

Now it's even worse, USB drives can be stolen too. It seems cold wallets are not completely secure... I need to find a more discreet place to hide the key.

The biggest security vulnerability is the physical world; cold wallets also need to be protected from being robbed.
