There's at least a few reasons why you might expect 2p2 to have some interest in maintaining the security of their site. For one thing: Although they're careful about posting the appropriate disclaimers, their site is a major hub for all kinds of marketplace activities including staking, trades and even high stakes sports betting. On top of that, extended downtime like this cuts into their bottom line. Agreed that a lot of the content, especially in the most popular subforums like NVG and BBV, is essentially worthless, but it obviously serves to engage a large audience which 2p2 is apparently successful in monetizing to some degree. Any disruption of that traffic is a threat to their business model. In fact, since finding out that the hackers outed themselves in the 2p2 mod forum, I've been wondering if this may have been an extortion attempt.
