Highland Province reemerges with a violent extortion case, this time targeting the digital financial sector. The newly established National Organized Crime Task Force quickly intervened and is investigating, making this case a key focus. Official statements highlight an increasingly serious reality—organized crime groups are targeting cryptocurrency and digital asset participants. This is not an isolated incident but reflects the security challenges faced by the Web3 ecosystem. From exchange staff to seasoned investors, more and more industry practitioners are becoming targets of criminals.
