The hackers don't care about your Town of Salem accounts. They want to try those same/similar passwords on other sites. A lot of people use similar passwords on other sites.

So let's say your password on Town of Salem was "password1". The hackers already know your email. Now they're going to try your email everywhere using "password1". With each account they get into, they can get more info [maybe you've shared your address and real birthday in one of these accounts!] and if you have funds in those accounts? Those funds might not be there for long.
