Cartes Pokémon, fuite de données et réseaux sociaux : les vols ciblés se multiplient en France

A growing trend of targeted crime involving Pokémon cards and cryptocurrency is emerging in France. Since 2022, a series of increasingly sophisticated and violent thefts have been documented, driven by the rising value of rare cards and the potential to access cryptocurrency holdings. Criminals are leveraging data leaks, social media, and intelligence gathering to identify targets and exploit vulnerabilities, including bypassing security systems and utilizing information about planned events like Pokémon Galas. The trend is accelerating, with projections indicating a significant increase in the number and value of these crimes in 2025 and 2026, highlighting a concerning shift from simple theft to organized criminal activity.
