In plain words

Server Thief Bait is a security monitoring tool that plants a decoy cryptocurrency wallet on a computer or server. When an intruder or malware accesses and moves the funds from the wallet, the service sends an alert to the owner. This lets users know their system has been compromised. A single payment covers ten years of monitoring. The tool is designed for people storing sensitive data who want early detection of unauthorized access.
