Belgian authorities are seeking crypto wallet data from EU domain registrars as part of a piracy investigation.

The court orders reportedly target three registrars and seek financial and technical information linked to suspected pirate-site operators.

The requested records include crypto wallet addresses and transaction hashes, alongside other financial and personal data.

Authorities are also seeking IBAN details, credit-card information, names, addresses and phone numbers.

The orders reportedly cover up to 12 months of connection logs from the affected registrars.

The three named registrars are Hosting Concepts, Hostinger and Key Systems, while other names remain redacted.

The court orders also include gag provisions that prevent the registrars from notifying affected account holders about the proceedings.
