So, apart from the applications of using honeypots for cybersecurity research by an organization, I came across different uses for the same concept. In the dark or deep web, there are honeypot sites where law enforcement sets up these bait domains so that they can monitor the suspicious behavior of different individuals who may have visited the sites. Some of those are hitmen-for-hire and are the most popular ones. Many lives have been saved, and those who wanted to pay for the assassination have been arrested using honeypots. So, using them for more than just cybersecurity goes a long way. It has even assisted law enforcement in catching stupid people who want to hire assassins to take out their husbands or wives because they want to get their inheritance and start over. At least in prison, they'll get their new start away from the worries of normal society.
