Althought one might argue that spying is one thing while attacking/sabotaging is another thing.

I might tolerate you peeking through my window into my house from time to time to try and understand what i'm up to.

I wouldn't tolerate you burning my house down to prevent me from doing my stuff.

That's true, but I believe this incident was espionage, not an attack with destructive intention. Spies usually don't want your email server to stop working, because they'd lose access to your emails and you'd notice something is up.
