Canadian Crypto Owners Are Targets of Home Invasions: Police
Canadian neighborhoods are experiencing a rise in home invasion-style robberies targeting wealthy crypto investors. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has issued a warning about this trend, with several incidents reported in Richmond and Delta. The thieves pose as delivery people or persons of authority to gain access to victims' homes and steal information that grants access to their cryptocurrency accounts. This physical theft method is different from online scams and ransomware attacks commonly associated with crypto crime.
