How could only a subset be affected? Any architecture other than a "users" db table wouldn't make sense.

Could be technically true in that they didn’t access every last bit of “user data” like support chat logs or whatever stored elsewhere, but they have phrased it that way to make it seem like less of a big deal. Just a guess.
