Svmuu News: A former French tax official may have used her position to leak data on cryptocurrency holders, increasing the risk of physical attacks against this group. The former official, Ghalia C., has already been sentenced on charges including aiding organized crime and is currently appealing the verdict. Investigations reveal that she used her access to confidential tax databases to gather information on potential targets, including cryptocurrency investors, and may have disclosed their locations and capital gains data. Although there is no evidence yet that she orchestrated actual attacks against cryptocurrency holders, this case highlights the risk that tax systems could serve as a source of data breaches. As European tax authorities tighten their oversight of cryptocurrency assets, such data leaks could expose holders to heightened security threats. (Cryptopolitan)
