Couldn't they do this with any of the sites that they modify? That's what I am sort of wondering about, sure you could redirect the homepage to something dumb, and make it really obvious that the site has been attacked. But, it seems like they could have similarly done a man-in-the-middle and sucked up tons of data silently, without throwing up any big red flags.
