Hostgator and Amerinoc have been targeted before, same as almost any hosting company out there, that's not the issue. The problem is Dreamhost seems to be the usual target, I even have heard they have some kind of rogue admin. Dunno how true can it be, but I have heard that several times. Either way, it's kind of scary that every single time some host is compromised, Dreamhost is on the list
