Hackers and criminals, who often operate in hidden areas of the World Wide Web, resort to the encrypted digital currency "Bitcoin" to carry out illegal actions, without revealing their names or addresses.
Welcome back.
For Anyone Bitcoin In this tutorial, I'm going to show you some basic tools for tracking Bitcoin transactions
Blockchain.com
Blockchain.com is a website that tracks transactions on the blockchain for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Bitcoin Cash. For example, here we entered the wallet address involved in a recent scam we investigated and we can see that this address was involved in 241 transactions totaling nearly $500,000.
We can scroll down the screen and see every transaction that includes this address.
Bitref.com website
Bitref.com allows us to check the balance in any Bitcoin wallet. By entering the same address above, we can see that the wallet has only 0,00000546 bitcoins. Bitref also lists the last 100 transactions in that wallet.
Who is he
Bitcoinwhoswho.com is particularly valuable for fraud investigations. This site provides not only the current balance and the number of transactions, but also whether the address appeared on any websites and the IP address of the last transaction.
Note here that our wallet address does not appear on any websites, but the last IP address does. We can then take that IP address and put it into one of the many IP address lookup engines like IPaddresslookup.com and it will tell us the location and ISP of the IP address.
Here we can see that the last transaction from this wallet came from Norfolk, VA in the US which was using Verizon as its ISP.
Wallet Explorer
Wallet Explorer is another useful website for tracking bitcoin and other cryptocurrency transactions. What makes Wallet Explorer particularly useful is the algorithm for identifying wallet addresses and names. Note that our wallet address here has had at least one transaction with Binance.com.
oxt.me
oxt.me is another website for tracking bitcoin transactions on the blockchain. When we enter our wallet address in oxt.me, it shows basic information about its use.
When we click on the Activity tab, we can see all transactions over time. Note here that the incoming and outgoing transactions are almost identical in time and amount. This is a key signature of a wallet that is being used for illegal purposes. The perpetrators immediately send the bitcoin to another wallet upon receiving it making it difficult to trace and recover it.
Bitcoinabuse.com
Bitcoinabuse.com specializes in tracking abusive behavior using bitcoin. This includes investing and exchanges in fake cryptocurrency, theft, ransomware, and more. When we entered our wallet address, you can see that it has been cited for investment scams.
summary
These OSINT tools can help you track activity and lead you to the identity of the scammers/thieves. You will likely need additional tools described on the OSINT page to locate scammers/thieves. Once the culprits are identified, the next step is recovery.
