Two points to be aware of. - Kernel hackers move sometimes :) Be sure to associate the two (or more) addresses of any hacker with one person. Automating this may be quite difficult in some cases.. My data from a year or so ago was completely different to current. I think every field has changed since then. On the other hand, it may be interesting to see the data tracking hackers movements over the past few years :)
- Tracking by snail mail address (where present) is more accurate than by email address TLD. (Mine states .de, but I'm actually in London, UK for example)

Happy to help.
