This is how you know it’s a honeypot now
Wouldnt someone need to be hosting a ton of exit nodes for that to work?
Yeah, and the FBI has been doing that for at least 7 years now, to catch some pretty disgusting criminals: digitaltrends.com/…/fbi-running-darknet-child-por…
If they are willing to do it to catch bad guys, who’s stopping them from doing it to monitor good guys as well?
And that someone is called “The Seven Eyes”.
How you think they got Silk Road?
If someone has a Microsoft defender HE IS the honeypot. MD can just hook into that browser and track them.

Basically a trap made to look tempting, ex: police run a site to buy illegal stuff for cheap to catch the people trying to buy it
