Maybe I missed it somewhere, but what is the threat data based on? Why should I trust it over Insert-X-Service-Here?

That's a great question.

We rely on a set of trusted sources. It includes public ones but also private ones thanks to partnerships we have with a few companies. This enables accurate filtering.

Besides, we know that false positives are an important point to prevent. That's why we update our database continuously.
