The lists of SECTOOR might be used wrongly but they sound like they belong to the ever growing list of 'shitty blacklists'. In my work for a hosting company I receive complaints regarding malpractices of such lists on a daily basis. For example there are lists who blacklist whole IP ranges based on generic rDNS (hello Spamrats Dyna). Being a company that sets rDNS to [IP-ADDRESS].companyname.tld for all non-used IP addresses you are basically fucked.
Most of these blacklists are actually used by parties who probably started using them when these lists were not vigilante-like.
Hooray for shitty blacklists...

I got the same message yesterday, I asked leaseweb to put our exit node(hviv103) in a "dirty" ip-block and asked sectoor for a clarification on what happened. No reply to date of any party.
Doesn't sectoor publish two lists, one which is just Tor exit IP addresses, and another which is the /24's around them? And then they encourage people to use the more conservative list, but of course they hint that using the broader list will catch more spammers?
So it's possible that the answer is "some website somewhere on the Internet is using sectoor's lists wrong". :/
And in case you haven't read this lately (I read it every few months and it makes me freshly angry each time), here's your pointer to http://paulgraham.com/spamhausblacklist.html
