According to Foresight News, Web3 security company CertiK has released the (Skynet Wrench Attack Report). The report shows that the "wrench attack" targeting cryptocurrency holders has evolved into a structural risk, with 72 verified incidents globally in 2025, a year-on-year surge of 75%, resulting in losses exceeding $40 million.

The report指出 that such attacks use violence, intimidation, or kidnapping to force victims to hand over private keys or passwords, bypassing technical protections, and directly targeting individuals. The attacks are showing trends of professionalization and generalization. From a regional distribution perspective, Europe has become a high-risk area for the first time, accounting for more than 40% of known incidents; the forms of attacks have also significantly upgraded, with direct personal attack incidents increasing by 250% year-on-year. CertiK emphasizes that, in the context of continuously strengthening technical security, how to upgrade from "protecting assets" to "protecting people" has become a crucial aspect that needs to be addressed in the cryptocurrency security system.
