Incorrect mapping in entities.json? #186

Closed matteodellamico closed 4 years ago

matteodellamico commented 4 years ago

Hi! We're using the dataset from Disconnect for research purposes in an upcoming paper, to map domains to organizations they own. Thanks a lot for this!

We've been cross-checking between different data sources and an automated approach that we developed, and we have found a possible mistake in entities.json: the adxyield.com domain maps to AdYield; however, the Whois information seems to show pretty clearly that that domain was actually registered by White Ops. Is this a mistake?

Cut and paste of relevant Whois info (the same info shows up for whois whiteops.com):
