I had similar thought last evening. In a C# programming course, I learned passwords are always encrypted stored (at best) and then the password typed by the user on login is also encrypted with the same method and then compared. So the broken login function could be a bad actors way to make people reset passwords and fish for the clear text passwords. To use them in combination with the email stored and or fish for more email addresses and pw combinations.
Knowing a bit C#, there would be ways to make it invisible to the users. By catching the password in the program before the encryption part, save it to another hidden data table and let the users login as normal. Just kill their login status as "not logged in" so everyone has to log in again and taddaaa....
Strategically, breaking old logins from a bad actor makes no sense other than to boast. Maybe it's a bone thrown by the bad actor to only punish "the stupid ones" and have some kind of twisted moral balance.
Or just a technical issue and not a bad actor at all.
Thanks
