According to reports, a former French tax official may have used their position to leak data of cryptocurrency holders, increasing the risk of physical attacks against this group. The former tax official, Ghalia C., has been convicted of aiding organized crime and is currently appealing. Investigations revealed that she used her access to confidential tax databases to gather information on potential targets, including cryptocurrency investors, and may have leaked their location and capital gains data.

With European tax authorities increasingly monitoring cryptocurrency assets, such information leaks may expose holders to higher security threats.
