In accordance with CoinEdition, a San Francisco resident lost $11 million in cryptocurrency after a home invasion by a suspect posing as a delivery driver. The attacker used a firearm to force access to the victim's digital wallets and stole a laptop and phone. Early-morning invasions are increasingly being used to exploit trust and catch victims off-guard. Investigators and security analysts warn that criminals are now targeting homes as frequently as online platforms, with over 60 similar incidents reported this year, doubling the previous year's total. Experts urge self-custody users to strengthen device security and delay withdrawals to protect against such 'wrench attacks.'
