I think they are sure they triggered some of the errors. However they may not be able to identify which ones were caused by their bug and which ones were legitimate attacks, which probably happen at some rate each day.

If you are a customer, and you received this message, you should definitely change your master password and probably rotate your stored passwords. You don't know if your email was real or not.

However, it explains why so many users were getting this message recently in a plausible way, that is not too hand-wavy except for their dodgy track record. Its not the level of transparency I would expect from Mozilla or even Reddit, but its par for the course.

You should probably migrate to another password store. I moved away a while ago for other trust reasons, but this particular incident on its own is not that concerning to me.
