Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Why should they care if the account is active? They can loot an active account just as easily as inactive ones. No one is safe if they reuse passwords.

Most of the time they target inactive accounts, to my knowledge, not from personal experience, because they are ones that are likely to not be noticed for a while.

They target an active account, and that account owner notices, and makes a stink about it on the forums or to the owners directly, and gets the account locked down before they can get everything they want. (or the password gets changed) Or, as in this case, the site itself is taken offline.

With inactive accounts, it is very likely they can 'raid' several before anyone notices, because those players aren't paying attention to their accounts anymore.

I do agree that no one is safe if they reuse passwords, it is just that the main targets of attacks on petsites like this are usually inactive accounts, simply because no one notices if a light sprite/gen1 imp is moved to a different account.

As I believe someone else said, with the lockdown, many people are coming back to petsites, and so they might want to trade their expensive stuff for other site currencies, so it can be hard to tell which is a legitimate owner coming back and doing offsite trading, and which are accounts being raided.
