Exposure comes from what you broadcast and what leaks about you.
You control the first, but not the second.

In 2025, a French tax officer was caught selling crypto holders' home addresses and capital gains to criminal gangs. We don't know how long the data had been moving before she was caught, and crews can plan for days to months before acting.
Over that same window, the France case reports we found went from roughly one a year between 2017 and 2024, to 21 in total for 2025.
Comparing January to June only, France went from 10 cases in 2025 to 31 in 2026. A 210% jump.
Assume you're already on a list and build the habits that make you harder to reach regardless.
