Jameson Lopp, Casa’s Chief Security Officer, has released an interactive dashboard documenting 360 known physical attacks on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency holders worldwide. The visualization tool transforms years of quietly maintained GitHub data into a map of violence that the crypto industry has long preferred not to discuss. In 2025, the frequency averaged more than one incident per week, and the first 11 weeks of 2026 saw 23 documented incidents, maintaining that grim pace. A separate analysis of 269 incidents found that more than half were rated as « Serious, » typically involving armed robbery, kidnapping, or physical assault resulting in significant injury. France has emerged as a particular hotspot, prompting local crypto communities to issue specific safety advisories. The dashboard allows users to filter by geography, time period, and attack severity, and encourages contributions from anyone aware of uncatalogued incidents.
