This seems to only apply to those users who were signed up to Aptoide, which was not a requirement to use the Store app (which was replaced with a fake one due to possibly separate incident). More details from a post by ZDNet who first reported the breach: https://www.zdnet.com/article/details-of-20-million-aptoide-app-store-users-leaked-on-hacking-forum/
