The point is this exploit, according to the researchers, required massive and unusual manual intervention by the user, so it's very different from the other exploit you mentioned that involves millions of auth attempts From the link I

These are apparently login attempts visible to the user. To conceal them might be possible in some cases, but requires tampering suspiciously with public source client-side apps

by herendin 4y ago
It appears the attack is based on a failed login leaking information, and that 512 failed logins would be enough for Mega itself to crack the key. But, to be a practical attack, the client software would first have to be modified to conceal

Well here's your own comment, which is clearly seeking possible intention, and identifies individuals who may be responsible: > I couldn't help being curious whether Willson, his partner, or the reporter is responsible. I just
