Ok. One of the stories I read mentioned that may have been how they got the information required to hack the account. Not too sure if it was just speculation or verified in anyway.
With such a large group compromised at the same time I would guess it was not phishing.
The group wasn't large, and there is no evidence they were compromised at the same time.
