It is the same headline as the "Did Disney+ get hacked?" stuff the other day. 10m+ credentials were available almost immediately because people re-use username/password combos across every site.
That's why I am pro-password managers. Even if they're imperfect, password re-use remains a major active threat (contrast that with a lot of theoreticals against password managers).
Around ten of my accounts' information has been leaked (inc. big ones like Adobe). But I don't re-use credentials so aside from an uptake in spam, it has had no impact. Typically these were services I haven't used in years.
