Why are crypto holders being kidnapped?

Crypto can be instantly transferred and is nearly untraceable, making holders attractive targets for extortion and abduction.

What makes crypto kidnappings different from traditional extortion?

With crypto, victims can transfer millions instantly without safeguards, unlike bank transfers which have delays and flags.

Are families and children being targeted too?

Yes. Criminals often threaten children to coerce victims into handing over wallets or seed phrases quickly and without resistance. The emotional leverage used against parents dramatically increases the chance of immediate compliance.

What services can protect crypto holders from abduction?

Hyperion provides executive protection, surveillance detection, route planning, encrypted communication protocols, and emergency kidnap response operations.

How do criminals know someone owns crypto?

Most victims unintentionally reveal holdings through social media posts, NFT bragging, visible wealth, or publicly associated wallet addresses. Threat actors perform extensive open-source intelligence (OSINT) to identify and profile high-value targets.
