Because the second tine was a dns hijack, not a network compromise. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but it had something to do with cloudflares API not revoking some access token.

Either way, a DNS hijack is not great, but not nearly as bad as the initial compromise.

It wasn't CloudFlare's API not revoking a token, they just didn't revoke all the tokens. Basically human error.

"The API key was known compromised in the original attack, and during the rebuild the key was theoretically replaced. However, unfortunately only personal keys were rotated, enabling the defacement."

See, I'd like to know more too.
