I tried by both the above DMK line and the querying subject to make clear I
was not claiming this as fact, rather I was hoping for more details to be
revealed, possibly here, probably by someone more reliable than "LinuXProX"

I note with interest the earlier "They have tracked the attacker back to
person that is at the Akamai Technologies ISP" is no longer on the page.
