I've been tempted to do this.

I have done this. After client didn't pay for the hosting of their bug reporting system, I replaced the site saying that it would be unavailable until they paid.

Understandable and easy to empthasise with as it is, I think this is rather unprofessional and quite possibly illegal. It's basically the same principal as vigilante justice.

If the provider changed passwords or anything to try and stop the client taking down the hack, that would be seriously dodgy.

Yep, all fair, but what stopped me was that the NL IT business is a small world; spread tulip around about someone else and it's bound to come flying back at you sooner or later.

Brigit Fonda did something similar in Single White Female with her Mac System 7 based accounting software (yeah right) - when the client didn't pay, all the numbers started falling off the screen.....

Which is a bad thing - every story has two sides but only one has the tools to spread theirs over the web in an attempt at extortion.
