Jameson Lopp just published his gathered list of physical attacks against Bitcoin owners: https://github.com/jlopp/physical-bitcoin-attacks
He wants to show us how important is privacy to Bitcoin, anyone who loudly talks about coins that they own on social media are making themselves a target. Lopp himself became a victim of such attack and since then he took a lot of measures to become untraceable.
I've read this article and I've found that, those indecents are so awful. Of course privacy is the most important thing in our life and Those incidents teaches us,
not to share about any news(like bitcoin) on social media that how much worth bitcoin or altcoin you have own.

That is right, we have to be able to control our mouth, if you look at when binance was hacked, I think the CEO later came to tell the public how the hacker got to know about their weakness, which was through audience that he granted some press at a certain time, and then the hacker picked their weakness and used it against them.

So we really have to watch our utterances in the crypto space so that we don’t get an attack by those other people also. We should endeavor to protect ourselves and also try as much as possible to have at least two wallet, one should be where we won't even have access to its key until maybe later in future when the need arise, while the second wallet should be use for our daily transaction of cryptocurrency for security purpose.

From petty armed robberies with knives, to more sophisticated kidnap and ransom, it is obvious that privacy within the blockchain space is imperative. It cannot be negotiated. As a cryptocurrency hodler/trader, your holdings are yours only. Do not make an easy target of yourself by declaring your holdings to anyone. It's like telling someone your bank account balance only worse, they can monitor it if they have your wallet addresses and much worse as we've seen in the above link.
