As for who did it and why? It's not entirely clear, but it may be the result of political activism or an attempt to call Staminus out on the carpet for lax security. The outfit counts the KKK as one of its anti-DDoS customers, and it apparently made rookie mistakes like storing card info in plain text and using the same password for all its routers. Whatever the causes, users can at least take consolation that Staminus is toughening up its security -- hopefully, it (and other anti-hacking specialists) won't fall victim to this kind of attack again.
