I don't think the goal was to steal information. A DDoS attack is about disrupting the service, not gaining unauthorized access to data.

The goal of the perpetrator was clearly to minimize the legitimate users' access. A DDoS attack is all about overwhelming the system and denying service to normal users.

I believe the goal could also be to gain unauthorized system access, to cause further harm.

I agree with Eleni, it seems like the most logical reason for the DDoS attacks.
