Don’t they hint at how it happened in what you quoted?

> performed with our customers’ user credentials that were exposed through unrelated cyber threat activity

Unless they are just making this up, they seem to think that credentials were obtained elsewhere. They also say at the end that they told customers to review their account settings. So they are directing the blame away from themselves.

You’re right that this seems to conflict with Hudson Rock. Unfortunately our sources are the company that allegedly was hacked and a company that shamelessly doxed an employee in the course of using this event to promote their product. I think we’ll need to wait for more details.

Fair point. Doxing the employee is shitty, no doubt. Makes Hudson Rock look bad as well. But at the same time, I was giving them some credibility as it would seems if they completely fabricated the screenshots, they might as well file for bankruptcy, given the market they seem to operate in.
