We would like to send out a statement to clarify that we do not know definitely who was responsible for the attack. We are working with the FBI to analyze what has happened and will do everything we can to find the person responsible. We are all impacted heavily by the attack and are doing everything in our power to restore customers and provide a way to get out of this position. We will keep you informed of our progress as we continue to make plans and accommodate people.

Thank you for being a customer!
That's a lot of bullshit. There isn't any way they could have gotten the fbi's assistance that quickly. Additionally, the fbi's sysadmins are not that intelligent. They have little to no understanding of anything further than issuing a subpoena to get information about a subscriber who was bound to an ip address at a specific time. Usually, they send subpoenas months after the incident, long after any real ISP is going to hold log data identifying subscribers. Additionally, you can bet that the attacker was using somene else's compromised box to take exploit this vulnerability.
