What is there to explain further?

  Some evidence or reasoning that there's nothing damning anywhere on IA that anyone could possibly need kept quiet to the point of having ordered this particular attack. Just being the target of an attack doesn't mean you have perfect information about the perpetrator or their motives. This could even be as simple as "Some aspect of the attack pattern is inconsistent with such a motive", or "We spotted the perpetrator credibly gloating about it". But just from IA's public statements, the pattern ("launching tens of thousands of fake information requests per second") is quite consistent with simple denial.
