A hacker purportedly breached the platform’s third-party password reset system (Mailgun), forcing access to the accounts of multiple victims. To point of the maneuveur was to access at the Bitcoin Cash tips system to withdraw the fund.

It seem that the hacker had first compromise the account of one of the Mailgun employee before accessing a better portion of the system. Mailgun assure people that they patch the flaw since and that less than 1 % of their userbase was compromise.

Seem also that less than 20 users were directly impacted by the hack (bitcoin cash tips missing for what I understand).

Note : we always had to remember to keep our password and access secure and private, but we have no choice when it's a third-party app who deal with them. Even on a big website as Reddit.

hackers are always a hacker, also they have many tools to hack any system informations. most of them are IT's.... 

but what you said they access at the Bitcoin Cash tips system to withdraw the fund, that obviously there is an inside job involved!
