We perform a new dark matter hot spot analysis using ten years of public IceCube data. This analysis assumes dark matter self-annihilates to neutrino pairs and treats the production sites as discrete point sources. As a result, these sites will appear as hot spots in the sky for neutrino telescopes, possibly outshining other standard model neutrino sources. Compared to galactic center analyses, we show that this approach is a powerful tool capable of setting the highest neutrino detector limits for dark matter masses between 10 TeV and 100 PeV. This is due to the inclusion of spatial information in addition to the typically used energy deposition in the analysis.
