No, it's just incredibly unlikely that someone hijacked four different services and have been able to keep the owners locked out of their accounts.

You only have to hijack one account if the password across all four services isn't unique.

Yes, but the owners have four different support lines to call to get their account back, so the odds of it staying compromised is that much lower.
