Hypixel, Minecraft's top multiplayer server, got its web and game proxy hijacked

Threat actor was able to gain access to Hypixel's main website (deface) & their Minecraft game proxy/loadbalancer.

How in the world they could gain access to both their web & game infra, both are completely different worlds!?
