i think question is was these addresses had their public key exposed?
because reversing private key from an address is hard. since an address is double hash of the public key.
also creating an address containing a 4 letter word is super easy. so nothing special.
i wonder if the addresses were something like this: https://btcpuzzle.info/puzzle
Anything is possible, what is probable is a better question.
The OP_RETURN messages are intriguing.
