If you read the article they tell you the most likely situation is the fact that millions of passwords are leaked everyday attached to emails in various data breaches.
This breach could also be data leaked from TeamViewer but as of right now there has been no official word as far as I can see. Considering users like to use the same username and password a bot could easily run through a leaked list and report any successful logins back to an attacker (an older exploit).
As far as I can tell the random numbers being generated are not affected but users who have actual accounts are being affected. There has been no official word but the number generating system being exploited over the accounts being exploited seems far less likely. Only time will tell thought so hopefully we will get an official word soon!
edit Seeing a lot of different theories in the comments and honestly I'm not sure which one makes the best sense. I really do hope TV makes a comment soon about how it's happening but we probably won't see that announcement until they release the fixes which are supposedly later this year.
