Although I believe it's generally true that if a company appears prominently in the news it's liable to be attacked I assume because the miscreants sit around thinking "hmm, who shall we attack today oh look at that shiny headline!" I'd hate to ascribe any altruistic motivation w/o some evidence like even a credible twitter post (maybe they posted that on FB? :-)
I personally believe that the outage was caused by human error and not something malicious. Time will tell.
However, if you missed the 60 Minutes piece, it was a former employee who spoke out with some rather powerful observations. I don't think that this type of worldwide outage was caused by an outside bad actor. It is certainly within the realm of possibility that it was an inside job.
