To add to this, while we did not have any passwords or information leaked as a result of this attack, I would still highly recommend changing your password, especially if your account is rather old.
It is somewhat likely that they got this password from an external leak of passwords that happened to be shared with their MFGG password as Mors summarized, and as a result it is unknown if they have other passwords. Shortly after their removal from the site, they used an account made in 2006 to submit an empty "game" with a description containing the spam they were posting on the main page likely as another form of taunt.
Whether they got into this account via resetting the password or via similar means (using leaked passwords from elsewhere) isn't really known but I would play it safe just in case. While it's unlikely that an average user account getting hacked would lead to anything beyond more spam, it's still good to stay on top of your passwords and make sure you aren't using a password shared with another site.
