There is an ever-growing list here in Jameson Lopp's website: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks, reporting cases of physical attacks for crypto.

It's a huge problem and we should never discuss our holding with anyone, just like nobody would ever go out shouting "I have 15 Million USD in the bank".

Some people are actually careless with their privacy out there. I really don't know what is fancy in showing off your crypto holding in public but on several occasions, I have come across people doing this in taxi and eatery scrolling through their various crypto wallets without remorse. Privacy is actually a power and people can not destroy what they don't know. People are very ignorant and that word "crypto" sounds rich/wealth to their ears. They don't really care whether you have much or not, as long as you are involved in crypto they assume you are rich and wealthy.

Advisably, our public mobile should not contain our crypto wallets for security reason. Get yourself a portable mobile that will contain just your sim and SD card for communication purposes while you carry out your crypto related activities at home or a very private place with a separate phone. By so doing, even if you accidentally attacked you can not be forced to make any withdrawal since nothing related with crypto will not found in the portable phone.

Government will be happy to hear about this ill development thou. A transaction in our finance system can be traceable to the last person will be running in their head right now  Undecided
