nothing in either the news post nor the linked tweet suggest that passwords are even involved

"The seller claims this is a “fresh” leak and says it includes usernames, passwords, two-factor SMS logs, message contents, metadata, delivery status, and other sensitive details." SOURCE

The title straight up asks you to change your password (and the article continues to make this suggestion eight more times). What other account details would possibly even be worth writing an article about?
