And for people trying to puzzle out who was impacted, several these accounts (all with random strings for passwords, btw) were barely ever used at all, often not for several years. The only thing they had in common was their early creation date, and hence relatively low user ids. My guess is that the hackers simply scanned user ids starting from 1 and worked their way up.
