Actually this fits more with the DDoS theory.
A crash hack either works (and then the channel crashes immediately) or doesn't (and then nothing happens). If they hadn't patched it we'd see channels crashing constantly, like when this mess started.
DDoS, however, is a more gradual thing. If you hit a site with a lot of traffic but not enough to crash it, it may still lag. Which is what we're seeing now: spikes of lag, sometimes extreme, and a rare crash here and there. So it looks like Nexon has buffed its network against the DDoS, but couldn't get rid of all the noise, so we still see lag.
Or, you know, it could be as they say, something to do with a random hardware malfunction, which they were able to mostly fix but not quite.
