Example 1: Read coverage to learn about the latest cybercrime incidents and look up the cryptocurrency addresses involved.
Example 2: Inquire announcements from law enforcement agencies, such as the FBI, for information about cybercrime incidents and related addresses they are investigating.
How to collect: Dark web addresses are usually not public and are associated with illegal activities. To find these addresses, it is usually necessary to investigate illicit markets and dark web communities. Please note that activities related to the dark web may be illicit.
Example 1: Get the latest intelligence on dark web markets, including market names and addresses.

How to collect: Finding addresses related to other financial crimes can be achieved through blockchain analysis of company reports, government entity announcements, and related coverage. These addresses are usually associated with fraud, money laundering, tax evasion, and other activities.
Example 1: Read the FinCEN report for addresses related to other financial crimes.
Example 2: Follow the announcement of the International Anti Money Laundering Organization (FATF) to learn about the latest developments in the global fight against financial crime.
How to collect: The address of the fraud-proof contract can usually be found in the project's white paper, official documents, or blockchain browser. To find these addresses, you can visit the project's official resources or query the blockchain browser.
Example 1: Read Chainlink's whitepaper to see the address of its fraud-proof contract.
Example 2: Use the Ethereum blockchain browser to search for the DeFi project's fraud-proof contract address.
How to collect: Finding other high-risk addresses usually requires relying on reports from blockchain analysis companies, announcements from government entities, and relevant coverage. These addresses may be involved in various high-risk activities such as fraud, money laundering, and illegal activities.
Example 1: Read reports from blockchain analytics companies such as CipherTrace or Chainalysis for examples of other high-risk addresses.
Example 2: Watch announcements from international financial regulators for warnings about other high-risk activities.
How to collect: Please take precautions when searching for Honeypot addresses. Honeypot is a fake address designed to induce attackers to invade. One way to understand Honeypot addresses is to obtain information through reports in the security community or discussion forums. Another method is to analyze transaction history. If an address appears to have no apparent activity or only a one-time large transfer, it may be Honeypot.
Example 1: Honeypot reports that focus on the cyber security community, such as the Honeypot attack incident of the Bee Token project.
Example 2: Transaction history analysis. If you see some abnormal activity, it may be Honeypot.
How to collect: Finding addresses associated with malicious mining activities typically relies on cyber security reports, malicious software analysis, or a professional security team. These sources often provide information about malicious mining addresses.
Example 1: Find Cyber security reports published by cyber security companies and learn about addresses for malicious mining activities.
Example 2: Analysis of malicious mining software samples helps determine the relevant address.
How to collect: Finding addresses associated with malicious software usually requires access to cyber security reports, anti-malicious software team resources, or specialized security teams. These resources usually provide addresses about malicious software use.
Example 1: Look for reports published by cyber security companies to learn about addresses for the spread of malicious software.
Example 2: Refer to the anti-malicious software team blog or report for information about malicious software addresses.
