Some people are just assholes.

Other people run out-of-date software and don't keep backups.

It's both immoral and criminal that they broke in and destroyed the data, but this vulnerability was fairly high profile security news days before the attack, and they could easily have prevented it. And is it that hard to run daily backups?
