Assholes. That's all I got to say. Why the heck attack such a loved institution that does so much good for people???

True, it’s such a weird target selection. You’re not getting any money, you aren’t really making a big statement, why would you do this? Just advertisement for your DDoS for hire?

I'm guessing it's because the usernames and passwords they get could get them access to many other things since even after all this time people still reuse passwords.
