My guess would be that Sci-hub probably isn't doing this because my guess is that they don't need to. Given how widespread support and usage of Sci-hub is within academia, I suspect they have access voluntarily donated credentials on the order of hundreds if not thousands (remember that it's not only faculty staff that have access to journal articles: students do too).

Now that I agree with; the article specifically avoids attributing it to them, and if they could, you can bet they would. So I'm assuming they're taking a mostly unrelated incident and pushing an agenda with it.
