Two armed intruders compelled a family in Ploudalmézeau, France, to transfer approximately €700,000 ($820,000) in digital assets during a home invasion on Monday. According to NS3.AI, the three adults in the household were restrained for over three hours before the mother was coerced into transferring the funds. Rennes investigators have launched an investigation into the incident, which highlights a growing trend of crypto-related abductions and kidnappings in France.
