🚀 Amouranth Targeted In Home Invasion Amid Rising Crypto Attacks
#Amouranth #homeinvasion #crypto #cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ether #cryptoattacks #Twitch #OnlyFans #organizedcrime #decoywallet #BTC #ETH
According to Cointelegraph, popular streamer Amouranth, whose real name is Kaitlyn Siragusa, reported a home invasion on March 2, where robbers allegedly demanded cryptocurrency. Amouranth shared her experience on X, stating that the intruders were yelling for crypto. In November 2024, she had revealed her holdings of approximately 211 Bitcoin, valued at $20 million at the time, and around $80,000 in Ether.
On March 3, Amouranth provided an update, mentioning that three armed men were involved in the incident. She shared a video, presumably from a security camera, showing the men being led to another part of her property before three loud noises were heard, causing the intruders to flee. Amouranth is known for her transparency regarding her finances, having appeared on a YouTube personal finance show and sharing her earnings from various platforms. She gained fame on Twitch as the most-watched female streamer in 2021 and 2022 and has recently expanded her presence to OnlyFans.
The incident involving Amouranth is part of a series of high-profile 'crypto wrench' attacks in 2025, where individuals are threatened with physical harm to surrender their cryptocurrency. In January, a Canadian volunteer moderator of a crypto forum reportedly went into hiding after an attempted kidnapping aimed at forcing him to transfer his Bitcoin. On January 21, David Balland, co-founder of Ledger, was allegedly abducted from his home, with the kidnappers demanding a crypto ransom. Another similar incident was reported in February 2025 in Chicago.
As highlighted by 'Dr. Anon' in Cointelegraph Magazine, these attacks are often life-threatening situations orchestrated by organized criminals. However, individuals can mitigate potential losses by maintaining a 'decoy' crypto wallet containing a small portion of their funds.#Amouranth #homeinvasion #crypto #cryptocurrency #Bitcoin #Ether #cryptoattacks #Twitch #OnlyFans #organizedcrime #decoywallet #BTC #ETH

Key Takeaways:Web3 security firm PeckShield reported $127.06M in losses from crypto attacks in September, down from $163M in August (a 22% drop).Around 20 large-scale exploits were recorded, with UXLINK and SwissBorg among the hardest hit.Despite the decline, crypto security remains a pressing risk as hackers continue to target DeFi and Web3 protocols.Crypto Attacks Decline in SeptemberAccording to data published by PeckShield on X (formerly Twitter), losses from crypto security incidents in September 2025 totaled approximately $127.06 million, reflecting a 22% decrease from August’s $163 million.The decline marks a rare pullback after months of sustained attacks on the Web3 sector, though the figures still highlight the ongoing vulnerabilities across DeFi and blockchain platforms.Major Incidents in SeptemberPeckShield identified around 20 major hacks and exploits during the month. The largest cases included:UXLINK – Losses of $44.14MSwissBorg – Losses of $41.5MVenus Protocol – Losses of $13.5M (later recovered)Yala – Losses of $7.64MGriffAI – Losses of $3MThese incidents underscore the continued targeting of cross-chain protocols, DeFi lending platforms, and AI-integrated crypto projects. Market ImplicationsWhile the 22% decline in stolen funds is a positive signal for security efforts, experts caution that attack sophistication is rising. Many protocols now face phishing-based exploits, private key leaks, and governance manipulation, in addition to traditional smart contract vulnerabilities.PeckShield’s report highlights that recoveries like Venus’ $13.5M case also play a role in lowering net monthly losses, but the overall risk landscape for investors remains elevated.September’s $127M in crypto attack losses shows progress in industry defense mechanisms, but with over 20 major incidents, security in DeFi and Web3 remains a critical concern. Investors are urged to remain cautious, conduct due diligence, and track protocol-level security updates closely.#Crypto #Cryptojacking #CryptoAttacks #Web3 #DeFi #Blockchain #CyberSecurity #PeckShield #Hacks #Exploits #SwissBorg #UXLINK #VenusProtocol #Yala #GriffAI #CryptoLosses #CryptoSecurity #CryptoNews #XVS

Google's Mandiant team has uncovered a North Korean hacking group employing AI-generated deepfakes in advanced social engineering attacks targeting cryptocurrency companies. According to NS3.AI, the group, identified as UNC1069, uses AI to impersonate trusted individuals during fraudulent video meetings. This tactic results in malware infections aimed at stealing credentials and cryptocurrency. This development occurs as North Korean actors increasingly focus on targeted, high-value attacks instead of broad phishing campaigns, contributing to a rise in cryptocurrency thefts.#NorthKoreanHackers #AIDeepfakes #CryptoAttacks #Mandiant #SocialEngineering #UNC1069 #Malware #CryptocurrencyTheft #Cybersecurity #AIImpersonation #Phishing
