Idk, it all "feels" wrong. Why hex edit if you have the source? Why new campaigns if your "customer service" crumbling under the one?

For the why, it could just be skids trying to replicate if all you need to do is throw in a new bitcoin address and wait for the credits.

Fair, this is a good hypothesis. Did the edited URL ones samples have the BTC addresses changed?

At least one did, yes. But most of them are just trolling attempts AFAIK.
