How to Stay Safe from Physical Security Threats

So-called 'wrench attacks' are becoming increasingly common in the crypto space. Here's what you need to know to protect yourself.

Physical coercion targeting crypto holders is a real and growing concern. Attackers specifically target individuals they believe are holding significant digital assets.

Key protection strategies:

• Keep your holdings low-profile — don't advertise your crypto position publicly or on social media
• Diversify storage locations — avoid keeping all assets in one place
• Use multi-signature setups where possible to require multiple approvals
• Maintain operational security (OpSec) in your daily life
• Consider separating your online presence from your financial reality

The threat is unfortunately real and on the rise. Taking basic precautions now can save you serious trouble down the road.
