Hello Eric,
it seems you have a little misconception here.
But, due to the kind of the topic, let me first clarify that I am just
a member of this mailing list and in no way affiliated with MySQL AB
(your salutation lets assume that you were not aware that you wrote to
a public mailing list).

That is not quite correct. The site in question seems to use MySQL as
database backend and has chosen to place an "powered by MySQL" image
on their page. You see? No supporting action from MYSQL AB until now.

How do you think MYSQL AB could disallow this to happen?
MySQL is free software and there is no legal way to stop them using
MySQL for their web appearance, except for going against the illegal
action (hacking servers) itself.
The only measure I could think of would be to forbid the use of the
trademark on the website. But this is to the official people to speak
about. And I dare to doubt that this would stop these people.

I believe that you did not understand in which way the MySQL software
is (not!) involved here. For example, would you care to write to
Microsoft to complain that some cracker used MS Word to write up a
list?
Regards,
Benjamin.
