An anonymous Bitcoin developer, 0xB10C, has claimed that since 2018, a community has been operating in the market, collecting IP addresses of users who have made transactions and linking them to BTC wallets.
The author refers to this community as LinkingLion because the associated IP addresses are processed by the LionLink center. It is through its capabilities that the anonymous individuals connect with Bitcoin nodes.

0xB10C has created an open-source blacklist for nodes to prevent connections from LinkingLion.

The developer emphasizes that the community imbued with capacity to alter IP addresses, rendering such measures futile.
