There’s something missing here.

From what the Hudson Rock article shows, they were able to use an SE’s creds to access their demo account. This is not a customer account and shouldn’t (but of course could) contain sensitive info. It’s not clear to me how this snowballed into a larger breach.

Perhaps customers had granted this SE access to their accounts and the data within. Or perhaps there’s a deeper hack. But this isn’t clear to me from what I’ve read.
