They certainly have. The amounts withdrawn and deposited are enough to make solid connections between addresses on the blockchain. With this information it's possible to make a lot of associations between addresses you couldn't before knowing this information. From what I've read it gives the amount, account hash and the time, that's more than enough to uniquely identify them on the blockchain.
