More than just a little confused I'd say.

Because it's easy to do.  A crude comparison would be with graffiti-tagging back in the day - getting yourself noticed etc, or possibly still...  I'm getting on a bit.

I'd be amazed if this was directed against the ban in any way frankly - I have multiple sites and a forum and they get probed for exploit attempts all the time.  If someone finds a weakness in the site, then it's child's play often to hack it.  You do your best and keep the software up to date and avoid this to a large degree. 

All this is not much different to the spam robots not that long ago - spam robots found a vulnerability in this site and were able to register and spam at will. 

There's very likely nothing sinister about his at all - it's just a random target that they could hack - takes no work, programs do it for you.
