Crypto holders need to be cautious — real-world violence threats are becoming a new tactic for stealing digital assets. This crime method called "Wrench Attack" is simple and brutal: attackers threaten or use direct violence to force victims to hand over private keys, unlock wallets, or authorize transfers. Some are coerced into revealing credentials, while others are forced to unlock devices. Compared to that, cyber hacking attacks seem relatively mild. Such cases are frequently reported worldwide, with victims losing millions. Hardware wallets, cold wallets, multi-signature verification — these protective measures are almost ineffective against wrench attacks. The real defense is personal security awareness. Don't expose your holdings in public, don't let strangers know your wallet details — these crimes might be closer to us than we think.

The wrench attack situation really can't be contained anymore; it feels even more terrifying than being targeted by hackers.

Damn, I really can't hold it anymore. Staying low-key is the way to go.

Wow, this is the real risk. It's even more terrifying than being hacked.
