When I last checked the sites were still down and the terminal also showed "Deleting Backups" in the end. Also they deleted tons of mail accounts, hosting accounts etc. Even if they manage to come back, this was a huge disruption. And they downloaded most of the data and share it with journalists, so there is even another impact.
