Two different things can be wrong with a business's web address, and they need different things doing, so we count them apart.
Compromised
The business's own website is still there, but spam or code has been slipped onto it, almost always hidden from the owner. We count it only when we find it on the business's own domain, on a page anyone can open.
Changed hands
The address no longer serves the business it was listed for. That is usually a domain that lapsed and was registered by someone else. We count it apart from the compromised, and we never call it a hack.
