Seems weak password security was to blame. You gotta have a different one for everything these days.

From the original link provided:

Update: It's been confirmed that a moderator's account was compromised, and that the IP Addresses of all the staff was dumped on Pastebin (not sure what they're trying to accomplish with this). Along with the obvious being that the culprit compromised the Twitter Account. They have access to a staff member's account too. This seems to be an unfortunate incident in which a staff member was a victim of a social engineering type attack.
