Yes, we have worked with Gati and Randy Vaugh; infact randy helped me
out today; thanks randy!
There is a difference in how Randy/Gati collect data and how we collect
data. The stuff we publish are from numerous dns based realtime
blacklists and spam traps we run. Other folks black-hole botnets and
capture data.
We both come up with a dataset that overlaps but we don't yet know by
how much. So our data is another view using a different methodology and
isn't supposed to be "better" but confirming of where the problem is and
estimates of its magnitude.
