The data is published in SiteAdvisor, our free protection tool for browsers (and other non-free products obviously), this post is simply commentary on something interesting that is going on behind the scenes. As I'm sure you can appreciate we have an additional responsibility to protecting the general public by not publishing all the gory details in an instantly usable form in case they misunderstand it as an endorsement or something equally foolish. I'm sure anyone remotely technical could resolve XYZ given a little thought or data from one of the public lists within a few minutes and as such have pushed the publishing guidelines as far as the Marcus the ed. will let me. @Michael Rowles: Thanks!

Masking the full name of malicious domains. Are you afraid the phishers might get mad and sue? Grow a set and publish useable blacklists or don't bother making a list at all.
