Thanks. Also I will try to contact them personally.

Due to the intensity and duration of their attacks it seems they are 
well paid for them. So probably behind the money there is a competing 
corporation with a budged big enough for doing that.

In fact I personally was expecting it, and I think they waited too long. 
Although that's just another conspirational theory.
