DoorDash accounts targeted in crypto crimes

Three men now face charges for a string of violent robberies tied to cryptocurrency. Police say the group picked wealthy crypto owners, watched their routines, and then struck when the time felt right. One victim told reporters how the criminals used his DoorDash account to trick him into opening the door before demanding valuables. The suspects didn’t crack any passwords—they just relied on fear.Crypto’s design makes these attacks possible. Unlike banks, crypto wallets can’t be frozen, and transfers can’t be reversed. That makes owners prime targets. Police warn these “wrench attacks” are rising worldwide, with criminals skipping hacking and going straight for the people in charge. France has seen several high-profile cases, including an attempt on a major crypto firm’s founder. Even non-crypto users aren’t safe. Some kidnappers now demand ransoms in Bitcoin, showing how the currency’s reach extends beyond its usual circles. A recent case involved a well-known journalist’s mother, proving this threat cuts across all walks of life.
