The lish passwords are the easiest to abuse immediately, but the larger impact is on all the user accounts with weak reused passwords. While all of the manager passwords were reset, each VM's root password was not. Once a hashed password is cracked their root password is vulnerable (if it was reused). And that's probably a lot more people than had exposed lish passwords.

Everyone should go reset their virtual machine's root password if they reused them.
