Another update:

cryptocoin.info and
filenetworking.com are down with all associated subdomains.  Huh

Looks like HostGator (their hosting provider) got wise to their little scheme. In retrospect, it might have been an idea to just tell them what their servers were being used for, but I just assumed they were in on it the whole time. Why else would anyone use a commercial hosting company for a highly public hack? HostGator doesn't accept bitcoins, either, so I wonder if the hackers were also dumb enough to pay for the hosting with an account in their own name... now that would be ironic. Grin
