Anecdote: OkCupid is the only website or app where I've had an account hijacked. I got it back with a password reset, but the profile and pics were filled with bogus content.

I had the same experience. My profile was transformed into a 50-year-old white male wearing a trucker hat without my knowledge. By the time I was able to access my account, it had a bunch of matches and messages from 50-60 year-old American women.

Not the person you're replying to, but: probably to use the account to romance-scam other users with.
