Imagine I am sitting here right now, and wammo! I'm inexplicably in your account all of a sudden, with full access to your personal details such as phone, address, full name, and bank account details. I also have access to possible active and funded bank accounts or e-wallets, and if I've hit the real jackpot, you've been a customer for some time, and I can deposit and withdraw funds to another new account without too much hassle or fuss. If by chance I'm a seasoned crook or hacker, I can then hold onto these details to do God knows what in God knows where, because now God himself is the only one who knows the truth whilst your double is now possibly out there doing things you as a model citizen have never even dreamed of. I know this is the ultimate dramatization, but worst case scenarios such as this are not only possible in this day and age, but happening more often every day.
Unless someone knows different, we are only talking about one persons 'personal information' being seen by a third party. I'm no expert on how authentication servers work, but if a web site is suffering technical issues (this was clear to see with the amount of timeouts, errors visible) then wouldn't other problems occur like failed deposits, crossed logins etc?
It's a shame that none of us here (apart from the IOM GSC and Monaco Aces) will ever seen the log files from the night in question, over a dozen logouts and blank pages are almost certain going to be visible.
