Yes, this could be true, the bitcoin database got hacked back in 2013 and its content were being sold on the deep web, https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/hacked-bitcointalk-org-user-data-goes-up-for-sale-on-dark-web/

If you had an account back in 2013 with a weak password, it would be wise to change it as they could easily be cracked.

Ah. So that could be why there are so many hacked account here, and why my own account has been hacked and is currently in control of somebody attempting to scam people out of money with a phony ICO thread filled with bot post.

I've posted the details of my hacked account, and the ICO likely-scam that the hacker is trying to pull off using my hacked "Delicieuxz" account, in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2645474.0
