🔍 #chainalysis has been exposed for tracking Monero #transactions through malicious nodes, undermining the network's claimed privacy! 🙀
👀 An anonymous source provided videos to Cointelegraph, which were subsequently shared on Reddit, sparking concern among #Monero users.
Despite Monero's reputation as a private #Network , the videos reveal that Chainalysis has been effectively tracking transactions since 2021. 🕵️♂️
The leak indicates that Chainalysis operates numerous XMR nodes worldwide, using various geographic locations and internet service providers. This enables them to collect data on IP addresses and transaction timestamps. ⏳
As a result, they are able to link IP addresses to specific transactions, partially compromising the anonymity of the Monero network. 🤔
