Wouldn't it be awesome if they got hacked? That would mean that there is some serious leakage and most of the old style host would also have to renew there PHP.
Then again, it would be pretty bad. I think the server is simply overloaded.
If I remember correctly (I read it on php.net somewhere) the manual at least uses SQLite for performance reasons. An educated guess would lead me along the lines of thinking that perhaps they also use that for their 'main site'.

Reading those articles it sounds more like stupid administrators than an actual exploit. Couple of the articles on this have been saying it sounds like ssh passwords have been figured out and that's how they are getting in. Stupid administrators using simple passwords for users or not changing them from their default setting.
