I've seen similar situations where they weren't looking for anything, which
was kind of nice. When the CF docs and admin vulnerabilities came out
several University owned servers which were hosting CF got compromised. It
was done by the same people and all they did was replace the top level page
with one that said, "you've been hacked, here's what we did". They even
backed up the original files. Of course, I still recommended full rebuilds
from backup to make sure, since they didn't have checksummed versions to
verify from.

Gee sounds like a classic mafia protection racket. Pay us or your business
will suddenly have some broken windows. Most places call this extortion.
