I think they only realized it happened after name.com was mentioned as a hacked site in HTP5.

If that's the only reason they realized it happened then that's disturbing as well.
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.
