Well, as cellarius pointed out, if someone had stolen the database the thing to do would be to use the hashed passwords and salt values to try to crack the passwords on a local computer. Using a stolen database just to get the usernames for a brute force attack over the net would be pretty stupid (but, well, I suppose there are people like that around).
Edit: but of course the point is that there's no reason to think they have access to the database, since it can easily be done with the member list.
