This webinar hosted by CryptoUK and the Metropolitan Police explores the growing threat of so-called “wrench attacks” — incidents where criminals use physical force or intimidation to gain access to victims’ cryptoassets. Led by Detective Constable Anastasia Bezanidou, the 30-minute briefing examines the emerging risk landscape, evolving international trends, and the specific vulnerabilities facing high-value crypto users. The session covers:

• The latest intelligence and case patterns
• Common tactics used by criminals
• Practical crime-prevention measures and safeguards
• Immediate steps individuals and organisations can take to strengthen security

This is essential viewing for anyone looking to understand and mitigate the physical-security risks associated with holding or managing cryptoassets.
