I'm just curious, is this in any how, related to the recent RAM increase ?

Doesn't look like it. If you believe the IRC logs, the attacker broke in using a "0day" exploit of ColdFusion, which is being used on the site. Not because of a flaw in RAM upgrades. Although I believe that Linode beginning to offer free trial accounts is probably responsible for the increase in attacks lately...
