I won't speculate on their intent, but by publicly commenting on disabling the account it looks like it opened the door for the hackers, again, if any of this is true. It's entirely possible that Parler stored all of their data in S3, with metadata documents, and someone managed to find some creds in the app to list the object storage. These practices and this kind of vulnerability are both common.
