Wrench attacks drive crypto investors to centralized custodians
Crypto custodians are reporting increased interest in their services amid the rising frequency of so-called '$5 wrench attacks' on cryptocurrency traders, investors and project leaders. In the last year, several high-profile wrench attacks — physical attempts to steal someone's crypto — have targeted prominent investors and business executives in the blockchain industry. The crypto mantra of 'not your keys, not your coins' has lost its power among some investors who fear for their personal safety. Cold wallets may offer full control over digital assets, but they also present a single point of attack. As crypto adoption grows, and wrench attacks persist with the proliferation of more high-value crypto investors, custodians are seeing a shift in preference from self-custody to institutional control. Crypto wrench attacks drive security demand Wrench attacks are nothing new. Jameson Lopp, a Bitcoin advocate and chief technology officer of Bitcoin wallet Casa, published a GitHub repository logging hundreds of such incidents since 2014 — and those were only the ones reported in the news. In the last two to three years, as crypto adoption has sped up and become more mainstream than ever, attacks have grown more public and sophisticated. In January 2025, the founder of crypto wallet Ledger and his wife, David and Amandine Balland, were kidnapped, taken to separate locations and held at ransom. Just months later, the daughter of an exchange founder barely fought off attackers who attempted to kidnap her in a van on the streets of Paris. Concern over the rise in attacks and their similar methods led French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau to meet with cryptocurrency professionals to discuss the issue. As concern over these attacks grows, crypto custodians are noticing an uptick in interest in their services. Emma Shi, over-the-counter and institutional sales director of HashKey, which offers custody and exchange services, told Cointelegraph, 'We're absolutely seeing rising retail anxiety translate into meaningful inflows. Wealthier retail investors are increasingly approaching regulated custodians after high-profile cases like the recent Manhattan kidnapping, where physical coercion was used to access private keys.' Shi said HashKey's custody business has noted increased interest in storage from 'family offices, crypto-native high-net-worth individuals and even those with nest eggs that are large enough to be vulnerable to theft.' Cold wallets have long been lauded by crypto advocates as a way to give investors full control over their assets and to keep them maximally secure offline. However, this single key also provides a 'single point of failure,' per Wade Wang, CEO of multiparty computation (MPC) crypto custody service Safeheron. Wang said that there is a 'flight to security' among crypto investors, where holders 'are actively seeking innovative solutions that eliminate that single point of failure to significantly raise the bar for attacking.' Already in 2023, a report from PricewaterhouseCoopers on the state of digital custody noted the challenge of cold wallets being prone to theft or loss. One solution posited in the report was MPC or multisignature wallet options. Can custody services stop wrench attacks? Crypto self-custody, while boasting a new technology, runs into the same problem as treasure hoarders throughout history — they were vulnerable to physical attacks and theft until they could share that risk with a stronger and securer institution like a bank. Robbing a bank is a lot harder than robbing a person. In the same fashion, crypto investors are now seeking to 'raise the cost' of the $5 wrench attack. Wang said that investors wish to 'return to the fundamental principle: making the cost for an attacker rise exponentially. For example, when it costs $3 million to steal $10 million, the incentive for attack is lost.' Third-party custody can achieve this and mitigate the problem of wrench attacks, adding time-locks and layers of approval and shifting the target from an individual to the custodian's employees. 'But it is not an optimal solution,' per Wang. Trust is still put in a single, centralized institution and, as exemplified by the recent breaches at Coinbase and Bybit, even major regulated crypto businesses are vulnerable to employee misconduct and phishing. Wang suggested that distributed custody, such as MPC, 'is a superior solution because it fundamentally solves the problem. The core principle of MPC is to use technology to decentralize the single point of control and risk […] into a 'multiparty' structure.' In such a system, control doesn't belong to any one person, and transferring funds requires complex consensus protocols from multiple parties. Decentralized solutions may better reflect the ethos of the blockchain industry, but 'we cannot neglect the benefits of centralized custodians,' Wang said. 'Reliable security measures bring better assurance of keeping clients' assets safe, a familiar way of doing things for lots of new crypto players.' Centralized or decentralized, crypto investors could still be at risk if the public image of crypto investors is that they are all walking around with cold wallets full of Bitcoin. Shi said, 'The perception of risk matters, too. Attackers often assume holders store funds themselves, so public awareness that more crypto is held in custodial solutions may deter opportunistic assaults.' Wrench attacks a 'temporary problem' solved by adoption Public perception is indeed changing. Retail investors are increasingly making crypto part of their portfolio, according to a 2024 report from Ernst & Young. New regulations in large financial markets like the EU and the US are creating the frameworks necessary for institutional investors to get involved. This regulatory shift has been good for the custody industry as well, as it 'legitimizes professional custody for everyday investors and is leading to more offerings from not only crypto-native firms but traditional banks as well,' said Shi. 'We're seeing crypto adoption accelerate in regions with regulatory clarity, which creates entirely new custody considerations for investors who previously relied solely on self-custody solutions.' Regulations also raise the stakes of wrench attacks, per Wang. Better regulatory frameworks with more jurisdictions 'proactively setting robust regulations' will 'inevitably lead to more severe law enforcement actions, which will significantly increase the cost of such attacks and fundamentally curb such behaviors.' 'We see the physical attacking as a temporary challenge,' Wang concluded. The crypto industry has evolved through many stages, but the rise of wrench attacks on prominent investors and executives shows that it has yet to reach the maturity of traditional financial markets. In the meantime, executives are not only moving their assets to centralized and decentralized custodians but also finding muscle of their own. Personal security firms have also seen an uptick in interest from crypto's elite to protect their homes and persons. Source:

India's TCS to cut 12,000 jobs as demand contracts
Indian IT giant Tata Consultancy Services said on Sunday it will cut around two percent of its global workforce, or about 12,000 jobs, as demand contracts in the sector it leads. The software services firm — India's largest by market cap — said the reductions would mainly affect employees in middle and senior roles and would be rolled out over the course of this year. TCS employs 613,000 people worldwide, and the IT services sector is one of India's biggest employers and revenue earners. The company said the move was part of efforts to become a "future-ready" organisation as it enters new markets and scales up its use of artificial intelligence. "As part of this journey, we will also be releasing associates from the organisation whose deployment may not be feasible," TCS said in a statement. It said the restructuring was being carried out with "due care" to avoid disruption to client services. After TCS's June-quarter revenue fell short of expectations, CEO K Krithivasan said this month that "continued global macro-economic and geopolitical uncertainties caused a demand contraction". IT services are the most visible part of India's modern economy and historically one of its biggest white-collar job creators, driving the expansion of the middle class. But a slowdown in the sector has seen hundreds of thousands of new graduates struggle to find work.

Trump, EU chief seek deal in transatlantic tariffs standoff
US President Donald Trump and EU chief Ursula von der Leyen prepared to meet Sunday in Scotland in a push to resolve a months-long transatlantic trade standoff that is going down to the wire. Trump has said he sees a 50-50 chance of reaching a deal with the European Union, having vowed to hit dozens of countries with punitive tariffs unless they hammer out a pact with Washington by August 1. The EU is currently facing the threat of an across-the-board levy of 30 percent from that date. Von der Leyen's European Commission, negotiating on behalf of the EU's member countries, has been pushing hard for a deal to salvage a trading relationship worth an annual $1.9 trillion in goods and services. Any deal with the United States will need approval by all 27 member states. EU ambassadors, on a visit to Greenland, were to meet Sunday morning to discuss the latest negotiations -- and again after any accord. Sunday's sit-down between Trump and the EU chief was to take place at 4:30 pm (1530 GMT) in Turnberry, on Scotland's southwestern coast, where Trump owns a luxury golf resort. The 79-year-old American leader said Friday he hoped to strike "the biggest deal of them all" with the EU. "I think we have a good 50-50 chance" of a deal, the president said, citing sticking points on "maybe 20 different things". He praised von der Leyen as "a highly respected woman" -- a far cry from his erstwhile hostility in accusing the EU of existing to "screw" the United States. But late-night EU talks with US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick on Saturday to hammer out the final details were "combative at times," The Financial Times reported. As of Saturday evening, there were "still quite a few open questions" -- notably on pharmaceutical sector tariffs, said one EU diplomat. Tariff levels on the auto sector were also crucial for the Europeans -- notably France and Germany -- and the EU has been pushing for a compromise on steel that could allow a certain quota into the United States before tariffs would apply. Baseline 15% According to European diplomats, the deal on the table involves a baseline levy of around 15 percent on EU exports to the United States -- the level secured by Japan -- with carve-outs for critical sectors including aircraft, lumber and spirits excluding wine. The EU would commit to ramp up purchases of US liquefied natural gas, along with a series of investment pledges. Hit by multiple waves of tariffs since Trump reclaimed the White House, the EU is currently subject to a 25-percent levy on cars, 50 percent on steel and aluminium, and an across-the-board tariff of 10 percent, which Washington threatens to hike to 30 percent in a no-deal scenario. The EU has focused on getting a deal with Washington to avoid sweeping tariffs that would further harm its sluggish economy, with retaliation as a last resort. While 15 percent would be much higher than pre-existing US tariffs on European goods -- at 4.8 percent -- it would mirror the status quo, with companies already facing an additional flat rate of 10 percent. Should talks fail, EU states have greenlit counter tariffs on $109 billion (93 billion euros) of US goods including aircraft and cars to take effect in stages from August 7. Brussels is also drawing up a list of US services to potentially target. Beyond that, countries like France say Brussels should not be afraid to deploy a so-called trade "bazooka" -- EU legislation designed to counter coercion through trade measures which involves restricting access to its market and public contracts. But such a step would mark a major escalation with Washington. Ratings dropping Trump has embarked since returning to power on a campaign to reshape US trade with the world. But polls suggest the American public is unconvinced, with a recent Gallup survey showing his approval rating at 37 percent -- down 10 points from January. Having promised "90 deals in 90 days," Trump's administration has so far unveiled five, including with Britain, Japan and the Philippines. Early Sunday, ahead of his meeting with Von der Leyen, Trump was out again on the golf course, having spent most of Saturday playing at Turnberry amid tight security. The trip to Scotland has put physical distance between Trump and the scandal around Jeffrey Epstein, the wealthy financier accused of sex trafficking who died in prison in 2019 before facing trial. In his heyday, Epstein was friends with Trump and others in the New York jet-set, but the president is facing backlash from his own MAGA supporters demanding access to the Epstein case files. With the uproar refusing to die down, a headline agreement with the EU -- in addition to bolstering Trump's dealmaker credentials -- could bring a welcome distraction.
