The forum was hacked in May 2015. You can check if your email was included in that breach or elsewhere by using https://haveibeenpwned.com/ (My email address was also in the BTC-e database when they got hacked).

The data in both of those hacks included email addresses and encrypted passwords. That's one reason so many accounts here get hacked, they had weak passwords.
