CertiK: 72 "Wrench Attack" incidents occurred in 2025, up 75% month-on-month, with Europe becoming the hardest-hit region
BlockBeats News, February 9, according to CertiK's analysis, "wrench attack" incidents surged in 2025, with 72 confirmed cases, a 75% increase from the previous year. Economic losses exceeded $40.9 million, up 44%, but experts believe that due to unreported incidents and confidential settlements, this figure may be far lower than the actual impact.
Europe has become the hardest-hit region, accounting for over 40% of global incidents, with France having the highest number of cases. The level of violence is also intensifying, with personal assault incidents soaring by 250%. Typical cases include high-profile kidnappings of cryptocurrency holders (such as entrepreneurs and their families) in France, Austria, and the United Arab Emirates.
