[CertiK: Frequent incidents of cryptocurrency violent coercion and robbery, increasing the risk of implicating victims' families] According to a report by Golden Finance, on May 9th, the cryptocurrency security agency CertiK estimated that in the first four months of 2026, users had suffered losses of approximately $101 million due to offline cryptocurrency coercion and robbery attacks. If the current growth rate continues, the loss scale for the whole year of 2026 will reach hundreds of millions of dollars. The organization stated that offline coercion and robbery attacks are specialized terms in the field of network security, referring to breaking through even the strictest software security protection through methods such as physical violence attacks, extortion and coercion; Nowadays, such attacks have become a formal and normalized threat channel for holders of encrypted assets. Experts say that 2025 will be the year with the most rampant offline coin robbery attacks on record, with about 70 reported cases of physical violence. However, due to the nature of such cases, it is highly likely that a large number of them will not be reported or exposed. According to CertiK data, there have been 34 confirmed cases worldwide since 2026, an increase of 41% compared to the same period in 2025. According to the trend, it is expected that there will be about 130 incidents and asset losses of hundreds of millions of dollars throughout 2026. It is worth noting that out of the 34 verified cases this year, 28 occurred in Europe, accounting for a staggering 82%. At the same time, the number of reported cases in the first quarter of the United States decreased from 9 in 2025 to 3; Asia has taken off and landed from 25 to 2. France has once again become a major disaster area: 24 attacks have been recorded so far in 2026, compared to 20 for the entire year of 2025, and France has already led the world in crime rates.
