1 other listing published from this account, 50k+ users between them. 1 of them carries a finding.
Shared hosts - 11 hostnames
Hostnames hardcoded in this extension that few other listings call. That can mean one operator behind both, and it can equally mean a small shared vendor, so it is context rather than a conclusion. Hosts that many listings call are left out: they are services, not connections.
