Yes, he can steal the cookies and new passwords, but still won't have access to user accounts and/or passwords for more than an hour.

So, after Edward is discovered, all sessions are remotely logged off and all accounts created during that hour are blocked, asked to confirm their email, phone or even identity, or deleted.

So, after one hour, Edward is left with nothing more than braggable rights. And personal data of billions, but not their passwords.
