That was probably the intention of the DDoS attack. Screw always-online singleplayer games.

Do you know if there's any statement or if it's known who did this?

I'm a bit wary of their DDoS claims. This happened during their Battle.net sale (which would increase traffic) and during the outage their CS was telling people to try multiple times (which is a great way to hammer the servers).

It's likely they just couldn't handle the load, or ran into the thundering herd problem, and just claimed ddos because they didn't know better.
