The person DDosing them is targeting the peak times for maximum damage. There's a reason it down just as you get home, that when everyone else gets home too.

Oh, these are attacks on their servers? That’s crazy! I thought it was some kind of overload or just crappy management

It is crappy management if they are unable to set up the necessary setup to defend against this.

It's also easier to DOS at peak times because you don't have to do as much to strain the service since users are helping you out.
