I've no idea of course, but I'd speculate that the cause is a combination of DDOS and VIPDOS.

DDOS is not that hard to do - anyone can ping the server.
VIPDOS is not that hard to do - anyone with the game can try to play it.

BTW, if the hackers were really serious, they'd be trying PDOS attacks, which are less resource intensive than DDOS attacks but much more damaging...now that is something you don't want to hear.
