Abstract
A computer system monitors a set of inactive addresses. The computer system identifies a suspicious activity associated with at least one inactive address of the set of inactive addresses. The computer system determines a suspicion score for the at least one inactive address based on the suspicious activity associated with the at least one inactive address. The computer system categorizes the at least one inactive address as a potentially hijacked address if the suspicion score exceeds a threshold.
