Assholes.

But seriously, I don't think there even is a term for them but the term "hacker" is incorrect. Taking down a website through DDoS isn't hacking. Literally anyone, even those without any significant knowledge of computing could do it. Botnets can be purchased or even rented quite easily through script kiddie forums such as HF.
