As far as I'm aware people are getting their accounts hacked because they didn't change their account passwords after the data breach and unfortunately there's not much that can be done about it if they don't. There will be several forms of 2-factor auth on the new forum so helpfully that will prevent future issues if people use it.
This is a very serious issue. Admins should tell us how these people get hacked.
Have you noticed the growing number of hacked accounts reported?
The hacker is asking fubly for bitcoin to return his account, saying he bought the account for twice the price he is asking from fubly, here

This hack has been anticipated for a while now, do admin have a planned response? Are admin doing anything about this problem?
