A new interactive dashboard created by Jameson Lopp maps 360 known physical attacks on Bitcoin and crypto holders worldwide, highlighting a rise in violence against crypto owners.

Lopp, co-founder and Chief Security Officer of Casa, released the dashboard based on a community-curated GitHub dataset since 2014 that catalogs wrench-style physical attacks.

The article notes a standard disclaimer about third-party opinions, investment advice, and potential partner references.

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

The project is community-maintained and invites contributions to improve coverage, acknowledging reporting gaps and jurisdictional issues that leave many incidents underreported.

Market context accompanies the piece with snippets of crypto movements, such as broad gains among major coins and notable actions involving XRP, AXS, and EOS, plus other market stories like Solana ETF inflows.

The initiative signals a shift in crypto security concerns from solely protecting keys against hackers to defending individuals from physical threats, boosting demand for custody solutions and multi-signature or time-locked setups.

France has emerged as a notable hotspot in recent years, drawing local safety advisories within crypto communities.

The dataset documents wrench attacks, noting more than one incident per week in 2025 and 23 incidents in the first 11 weeks of 2026.

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

Independent analysis using the same data found that over half of 269 examined incidents were Serious, including armed robbery, kidnapping, or serious injuries, with a fatal attack reported in Mexico in September 2026.

Lopp has flagged security concerns in crypto, including questions about whether the Liquid bridge hack after Astra’s release was coincidental.
