Got an email today from Name.com re: this issue. Nothing from Moniker. Name.com stated that customer cc info and EPP code info was not compromised and the attempt to breach their security was apparently an attempt to gain access to a large commercial account. From reading the article here, is it a little ironic if they would refer to a hacker's IRC channel as a large commercial account?

It doesn't sound like they were. It sounds like someone made an attempt to hijack names and had no access to any financial details.

Their email said that the cc data and epp codes were stored elsewhere, which is reassuring to know that a registrar takes security to that level.

But this was in their email about the large commercial account:

It appears that the security breach was motivated by an attempt to gain information on a single, large commercial account at Name.com.
