Coordinated arson of that massive a scale would be incredibly difficult, and what would be the motivation to do that?

The kids throwing soup at paintings already committed crimes attacking oil infrastructure and shutting down certain oil infrastructures (pipelines etc) that got them precisely no attention. You only know them from the soup can shit, which proves their whole point.

Sending 100,000 spam mails in five minutes is difficult. This should be much more simple if you really want to do it.

A plausible motivation could be to keep the people that matters distracted and paralyzed to react while you blow an huge damm and create the second worst environmental disaster since Chernobyl in a well known country, casually in the same f*ing day

But I'm just speculating. All possible options are open at this point except thinking that this is normal. I assume that plagues also helped.
