I wonder if the hacker really interested in decoding credential or they just want to collect the email addresses which is really valuable for email marketing.

You mean "email spamming"? I'd be hesitant to call that "marketing".

Spam is as much a form of marketing as assault is a form of touching.

It's not worth much at today's going rates (maybe a few hundred bucks). The hacker probably could have made more money through a bug bounty program.
