‘LinkingLion’ may be spying on Bitcoin users, linking up their Bitcoin addresses with IP addresses, says Bitcoin developer.
0xB10C calls the entity “LinkingLion” because the IP addresses associated with it pass through LionLink network's colocation data center. However, ARIN and RIPE registry information reveal that this company is probably not the originator of the messages, according to 0xB10C.
According to the post, this behavior may indicate that the entity is trying to determine if a particular node can be reached at a particular IP address. This behavior would normally indicate that the user is a node trying to update its copy of the blockchain. However, LinkingLion never requests blocks or transactions, which implies that they must be pursuing some other purpose, the post said.
