The words came from a message written by the people you are calling script kiddies, rather than being editorializing by bleepingcomputer, as you seem to believe.

script kiddie or blackhat hacker is irrelevant. IA has shit security practices, and that's a fact regardless of who figures that out

I highly doubt they are script kiddies. More than likely they are state actors or mercenaries of state actors attempting to bring down the free transmittal of information between regular folks. IA evidently has not so good security and wikipedia must be doing pretty well I guess? I can’t recall the last time one of these attacks worked on Wiki.

Why would they publicly call them out and lay open the way they breached them if they were "attempting to bring down the free transmittal of information between regular folks"?

They could have done much worse but they chose not to and instead made it public. Which state actor does that?
