Can we get some better sources? This seems like an awful lot of hearsay, and there have been several comments from HN readers in this thread[0] and another[1] indicating that there is no public evidence to support these claims. Given that the author is alleging this is a crowdsourced effort, such evidence should be trivial to locate, but none has surfaced.

For those coming to the comments later, it was bullshit. No one from that group was claiming admin accounts were able to be created. Just that you could easily create regular accounts with a script because email verification wasn't required anymore. That original reddit explanation was mostly bullshit. That so called technical person that knew much more than the poster apparently was misinformed.
