Armed individuals in France forcibly restrained a woman and made off with her cryptocurrency storage device. The incident underscores a sobering reality: physical security of crypto assets remains a genuine vulnerability. As digital wallets and hardware solutions store substantial wealth, they can become targets of organized theft. This case serves as a reminder that hodlers need to consider not just cybersecurity measures, but also physical safeguarding strategies—whether through secure storage locations, discretion about holdings, or diversified security approaches. For anyone managing significant crypto assets, it's worth revisiting your security protocols.

Wow, armed robbery of a crypto wallet? Now it's really a "cold wallet" turning into a "hot topic."

Oh my, this is too scary. Hardware wallets also need protection against theft?

Hmm... Now we really can't just focus on wallet keys; personal safety should also be on the agenda.

Hardware wallets are no longer secure; now I have to consider buying a safe or migrating.

That thing in France is really crazy; hardware wallets now have to prevent theft... These days, the crypto world can't just think about preventing hackers anymore.
