If that were the case then i would assume that it wouldn't be just the nats staff admin account that was compromised and being used. These people, (and i say people because the logins are from various areas like Tampa, San Deigo, UK) are specifically logging in with the nats staff admin account.

Furthermore, if it were a issue specific to mysql or apache then the internet itself would be ablaze with speculation about it in more than the adult affiliate sector.
