Hosting Providers

Hosting Providers is tracked from public network records as an institution profile for BTW analyst review. The profile keeps infrastructure resources as evidence and does not promote them into BTW entities. published contact points are separated from person candidates so role mailboxes and teams cannot become people. The export is based on public sources only unless future evidence explicitly raises its validation status. Updates should follow newly published evidence.
