Or they only chose to do something about it once it was public domain.
So they're either incompetent or really shady. At least they're handling it as well as Linode did.
It says in the HTP5 release that Linode was placed in an intolerably difficulty situation between the HTP group and the FBI and were not in a position to make a public statement until they were directly instructed to by the FBI.
If that's the only reason they realized it happened then that's disturbing as well.
This is the big problem with their response. All I want to know two things: what they know, and when they knew it. After that, I want to know that they've fixed their problem and that's it.
I'm not sure if this answered much.
And why do they redirect DNS misses to their own advertising page? I think "give a shit" refers to the money they are getting, and not much else.
