I'll take up the definitions you pointed out. As to hosts that host malware we have a number of sources for malware links including our own spam traps. We take the binaries of these links and run them in a sandbox that we host on Amazon's EC2. The sandbox provides us a report which we mine to see if the binary does anything evil. If it does something like contact a IRC c&c we list the source (or host) as a malware source. there are many other items to define which I'll work on putting something on our website so there is more transparency in our reporting. -rick Thanks for the questions.
