I've looked at the data and found no clear indicators to support a
hypothesis that malicious/suspicious exit operators are involved to a greater extend then others, 
but I'm not sure if 24 minutes is enough to draw any conclusions. 
24 hours would probably more suitable. 

Expected request frequency for exit IPs would also be interesting when looking
and evaluating such data.

Did any exit operator actually see increased load on their exits?
