Criminals don't care about individual people. The point of these dumps is that they're so massive that there are bound to be plenty of people who can be scammed. If your login details don't work, they (or rather their automated systems) will just move onto the next entry in the owned database.

That means a third party service which he uses was pwned, not that he was personally hacked. I receive numerous scam emails addressed to unique emails used for my mtgox, btce, bitcointalk etc accounts... because all those sites have been pwned.
