Recently, I came to read this news
https://protos.com/spanish-police-rescue-crypto-investor-kidnapped-on-holiday/The first thing that came to my mind after reading this was that one should not talk about his crypto investments with strangers or friends as it can pose various risks.

I completely agree with you. This story is a harsh reminder that security is of utmost importance in the world of cryptocurrencies. It's very easy to forget how risky it can be to share information about our investments online, especially on forums where we think we're among like-minded people.
It's crucial to remember that when we talk about cryptocurrencies, we're essentially talking about money, and the information we share can fall into the wrong hands. Sadly, this can lead to situations like the one detailed in the article.
