A community-maintained initiative pools crowd-sourced crypto security incidents and emphasizes that reporting gaps and jurisdictional issues mean many events go unrecorded, highlighting the need for broader inclusivity in the data.

An interactive dashboard, built by Jameson Lopp, charts 360 known physical attacks on crypto holders worldwide, signaling a rising trend of violence against crypto owners.

The tool helps users assess geographic and severity risk, guiding decisions on where and how to store and access crypto assets.

The effort marks a shift in crypto security focus—from safeguarding keys against hackers to protecting people from physical threats—and it underscores demand for custody solutions that prevent full access under duress, including multi-signature setups, time-locked transactions, and distributed key management.

The dataset catalogs wrench attacks, illustrating that physical threats can surpass cryptographic exploits, with more than one incident per week in 2025 and 23 incidents in the first 11 weeks of 2026.

Practical takeaways for holders include minimizing public visibility of large holdings, using custody solutions to avoid single points of failure, and considering geographic risk patterns, with the dashboard aiding this analysis.

The dashboard visualizes attack locations, timelines, severity ratings, and other attributes, turning extensive data into a searchable geo-temporal map of crypto-related violence.

The article also includes market-context snippets—broader gains across major cryptocurrencies, notable moves in XRP, AXS, and EOS, and notes on altcoin season signals, Solana ETF inflows, and token promotions.

France has emerged as a notable hotspot, drawing national attention and local safety advisories within crypto communities.

Independent analysis suggests over half of 269 examined incidents were Serious, involving armed robbery, kidnapping, or serious injuries, with a September 2026 fatal attack in Mexico underscoring the potential worst-case outcomes.

The visualization emphasizes strategies like multi-signature custody and other person-protection measures to complement cybersecurity.

Filters for geography, time period, and severity enable users to assess risk for attending meetups or living in particular cities.
