French Couple Kidnapped Over Crypto Holdings, Two Suspects Arrested

This case fits a pattern in which physical coercion, not hacking, becomes the attack vector for crypto holders, since on-chain assets can be transferred under duress and are hard to claw back. The targeting of a household rather than an exchange or protocol suggests the operational risk has migrated to the personal-security layer, where law enforcement and asset-recovery tools are weakest. Whether arrests in this case signal better investigative capacity, or simply that suspects were identifiable, is the open question worth watching.
