The passwords were hashed and, I'm inferring from their language, salted per-user as well. Assuming a reasonable length password (complexity doesn't matter much here, what we want is entropy) it would take a conventional (i.e. not quantum) computer tens to hundreds of millions of years to crack one user's password.
Yeah, I'm not really worried about it. I changed my password and moved on. It's just that hackers have every reason to try and exploit Plex, while individual servers are hardly worth someone's time and effort to go after when the payoff is maybe 1-2 usernames and emails
