Probably not the best time to say this, but it's surprisingly easy to go through a collection with items and grab every email along with the usernames.

One way or another, there was going to be someone who would take loads of emails with a username attached to it. A bit intrigued by how the hacker compromised the database and got the passwords.

Damn, I had no idea about this. Definitely would've changed some things had I known that emails were public.

This honestly seems like a bit of a design flaw.
