Apparently this is not really deanonymizing any transactions, if I understand it correctly they’re just using malicious nodes to track IPs and try to correlate it to transactions.

Simple solutions:

1. Use a VPN or Tor (to hide your IP address)
2. Connect to a trustworthy node or run your own node

track IPs and try to correlate it to transactions.

so if they have access to the ISP’s logs, I am doomed.
