So the evil32 people kept the private keys. That's exciting.

Not necessarily, they might have just generated revokation certs which are separate (so that they can be used in case your private key is lost). Keeping a revokation cert would be a responsible thing to do, just in case something like this happens.

They had an old backup that contained the private keys. See this comment
