What is the current situation regarding the practice of freezing or attaching private and corporate bank accounts?
You should be aware that no account in the world is completely protected; international CRS agreements concerning banks, tax authorities, and creditors can, at the very least, expose account details, if not lead to an account freeze or attachment:
see the CRS list of participating bodies, banks, and states: CRS LIST
alternatively, consult the official website listing participating banks and the types of freezes they implement:

Block explorer (Blockchain transaction search engine)
There is technology designed to protect against extreme hacking attempts—specifically during the brief "plaintext" windows that occur when converting currencies within wallets—but detection systems for these windows operate much more slowly than the transaction-locking mechanism itself (which effectively renders the funds untouchable). However, do not assume the issue is fully resolved, as the individual remains linked to the transaction; nothing can be done about the funds themselves because the keys reside within the device: the PenDriveWallet .
In reality, this is not merely a standard pen drive but a hardware wallet—or, more technically, a Micro-HSM. This is a tiny, independent, and hardened computer designed to perform a single function: cryptographic calculations isolated from the outside world. PenDriveWallet
Returning to debit, credit, or bank account cards...
There is no card with a foreign IBAN that is legally immune to seizure. Creditors—including the Revenue Agency or other collection bodies—can trace and seize foreign accounts within the European Union through international agreements. [1, 2, 3]

Why they are not a solution:
Traceability: Cards with European IBANs (e.g., Revolut, N26, Bunq) are registered to a specific person and linked to their tax ID, making them accessible to tax authorities. [1, 2, 3] (The links are provided for further information and originate from consultancies or commercial businesses; please focus on the technical details.)
International treaties: Under the European Account Preservation Order, a creditor can freeze funds in foreign accounts just as easily as in Italian ones.

How to protect funds (one method)
Protecting money is not achieved solely through the use of a foreign IBAN; rather, it depends on the nature of the funds. The following are exempt from seizure by law: [1] (the links are provided for further information and relate to consultancy or commercial services, but please focus on the technical details)
Minimum pensions and disability allowances (up to a certain limit established by law).
Attendance allowances for people with disabilities.
These sums are protected only if credited to a dedicated account; if they are mixed with other income, they become subject to seizure. To learn more about legal protections, we recommend consulting authoritative sources, such as the blog of (This information are good for the Italy) Fiscomania o addiopignoramenti.

Now, some information on cryptocurrency blockchain technology:
What are the cleartext data for a blockchain transaction?
In a public blockchain (like Bitcoin or Ethereum), transparency is a key feature. This means that transaction data is generally public and visible in cleartext to anyone using a blockchain. "block explorer" (the blockchain search engine).
Here's the data visible in plain text for a typical blockchain transaction:
Sender Address: The alphanumeric string (derived from the public key) from which the funds originate.
Receiver Address: The alphanumeric string of the wallet receiving the funds.
Amount: The exact amount of cryptocurrency (e.g., 0.5 BTC or 10 ETH) or token transferred.
Transaction Hash (TXID): A unique, cryptographically generated code that identifies that specific transaction. It serves as a sort of "receipt number."
Timestamp: The exact moment the transaction was validated and inserted into a block.
Network Fee/Gas: The amount paid by the sender to validators (miners or stakers) to process the transaction.
Block Number: The specific block of the chain in which the transaction was recorded.
Additional Data (Payload / Input Data): In the case of programmable blockchains like Ethereum, if the transaction interacts with a smart contract, the data sent to the contract (e.g., the function called or any text messages) is visible. Although it is often expressed in hexadecimal format, anyone can decode and read it.
An important clarification: Pseudo-anonymity
Although all this data is "clear" and transparent, public blockchains guarantee so-called pseudo-anonymity. Names, surnames, IP addresses, or email addresses never appear on the blockchain. Only wallet addresses are visible (e.g., 0x71C... or 1A1zP1...). A person's real identity remains hidden until that address is associated with a real-world identity (for example, when sending funds to an exchange like Binance or Coinbase that requires identity documents via KYC).
And it is in fact on the wallets that the clear text window where you could be hooked is located. Essentially, what the block explorer see , then all watch.
If you engage in crypto transactions, you can see for yourself what information is visible regarding your activity:
How do you use them? Just like Google. At the top, you’ll find a search bar where you can paste:
A public address (e.g., the one you provided to the exchange to receive funds). If you search for it, you will see exactly how many funds are held there, as well as all incoming and outgoing transactions.
The TXID (Transaction ID)—essentially the "receipt" or unique identifier code for a specific transaction. Searching for this reveals the sending address, the receiving address, the time of the transaction, and the network fees paid.
This ties back to your initial question about "unmasked data": anyone who has your public address or transaction code and pastes it into one of these sites will see the amounts and the flow of funds. However, as mentioned, they will only see alphanumeric codes; they will never know that the address belongs to you unless you tell them or they discover it through data recorded by the exchange.
Credit institutions target currency exchange platforms when they cannot directly access the funds themselves; the actual wallet tracking is typically carried out by specialized IT firms commissioned by tax authorities—making the search thorough and professional—though the nature of computer science means there are always some unknowns.
Certain hacking-related IT technologies are also employed to spy on PCs used for cryptocurrency operations and similar activities; for instance, invasive testing techniques can lead to control over the target PC, but such actions are illegal and constitute criminal offenses.
So, once they gain administrator access to your PC—without your knowledge—they can see all your wallet operations in plain text; this is a form of malicious hacking and is illegal.
This is precisely the structural weakness of software wallets used on PCs (wallets installed solely on a computer or phone, such as Exodus, Electrum, or MetaMask).
The fundamental technical issue is this: even though the program protects your private key with a password when closed, the moment you need to send a transaction, the software must "read" the key to create the digital signature. To do so, it decrypts the key and places it in plain text within the computer's RAM.
Hackers are well aware of this window of vulnerability and use specific techniques to exploit it. Here are the main ones:
1. RAM Scraping (Memory reading): This is the most direct technique. Malware (a virus) secretly installed on your PC constantly scans the RAM in the background. When you open your wallet on the PC and enter the password to authorize a transfer, the private key appears in plain text in the RAM. In that fraction of a second, the malware intercepts and copies it, sending it to the hacker's server, allowing them to empty the wallet remotely.
2. Keyloggers and file theft: A keylogger is a virus that records every single key you press on your keyboard. Software wallets usually save the private key in a hidden file on your hard drive (an encrypted file). The hacker does two things: steals that file (which is unreadable on its own) and uses the keylogger to capture the password you type to open it. With both the file and the password, they have total control.
3. Clipboard Hijacking: This is one of the most insidious and common techniques, and it is specific to the crypto world. Blockchain addresses are long and complex (e.g., bc1qxy2kgdygjrsqtzq2n0yrf2493p83kkfjhx0wlh), so no one types them out by hand; people always use "Copy and Paste." A "Clipper" type of malware lies dormant on your PC. As soon as it detects that you have copied text resembling a crypto address to your clipboard, it instantly replaces it with the hacker's wallet address. When you "Paste" into your wallet, you are pasting the thief's address. If you don't check it letter by letter and hit "Send," your funds are lost forever.
4. RAT (Remote Access Trojan): This is a program that gives a hacker total remote control over your PC. The hacker can see your screen and move your mouse. If you leave your wallet open and unlocked while you go grab a coffee, the hacker can take control and initiate a transaction.
Before building Trojans or other colorful hacking tools—which must be created and then injected into the target—the target must first be identified within a specific network. This is done using tools like Kali Linux—a Linux distribution featuring libraries for sniffing, penetration testing, and other functions. We are not talking about a layperson here; rather, these are techniques freely available to professional freelance hackers.
At a significantly higher level of account protection—though related—are complex, AI-integrated software systems like Palantir (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palantir_Technologies); but that is another story—one involving advanced military-grade monitoring and intelligence capabilities.
