Here it is for ya, near the beginning of the story:
Another said his network of Web servers developed severe performance issues "over a year ago." He said investigation by his hosting company revealed repeated access attempts by someone using a NATS admin-level username and password.
"The servers were going down like 10-15 times a day," he said. "Our hosting company stabilized them and secured them by blocking IP addresses, unnecessary requests, et cetera. They said it had been hacked [by someone] in the main office."
