If people have foolishly used the same password there as elsewhere than they only have themselves to blame.

I have over 80 logins and thay all have vastly different cryptic passwords.

It's supposed to be a DDOS attack but that on it's own should not have compromised clients data. As suggested in the first link it may have been a smokescreen for a more devious attack.
