Update: I have removed wallet explorer. com because it got exposed as an anti-privacy blockexplorer

Hello 1miau, I updated the translated topic as well, thank you for this important update. My question is, though, if that article of CoinDesk can be taken as granted. Now I know that CoinDesk is - speaking at large - a name with reputation in this domain but, however, I would tend to take any news with a bit of salt to say so...

I don't know how reliable it is but Coindesk has claimed it has obtaine reliable data:

The documents, from an undated Chainalysis presentation to Italian police investigating the dark web, appeared late Monday on DarkLeaks, itself a dark web site only accessible through anonymizing browsers like Tor. CoinDesk has verified the documents’ authenticity.

The slide deck shines new light on the full range of tools that Chainalysis uses to assist law enforcement in nabbing illicit actors. The company is primarily known for parsing publicly available transaction data rather than using subterfuge.

But its honeypot works, according to the leaked slide deck. Chainalysis cited a June 2020 case in which walletexplorer.com nabbed a ransomware suspect’s IP address – hours after they were suspected of depositing funds through the over-the-counter (OTC) desk of crypto exchange Huobi.

Personally, I would avoid walletexplorer. com but I can't say for sure if Coindesk really has a 100% proof.

Chainalysis position has not been stated yet and, normally, they should have the right to express their voice as well. Maybe more clarification on this subject would come after their response...?

According to Coindesk, Chainalysys didn't reply:

A spokesperson for Chainalysis declined to comment.

It is generally recommended to insert own addresses at Blockexplorers only via VPN.

I totally agree with you here!

Later edit: at NeuroticFish's suggestion, maybe Wallet Explorer can still be maintained in the list, but next to the Bcash explorer and with a 0/10 rating...?

Yes, good idea, I have added it again:
