It would be interesting to know why the attackers attacked. Anonymous trying to White Knight? A breakaway sect of Christian fundamentalist hackers? A tech-saavy pimp tired of reviews that are a little too honest? Or maybe a working girl by night, computer science major by day?
Or, you know, just some neckbeard loser with a botnet and nothing better to do. Who knows. Unfortunately it's hard to catch these fuckers and it drives up costs for honest site operators when they have to implement countermeasures (like cloud-based DDoS protection, hence the captcha noted above) to deal with this garbage.
