I don't see any reference to 2023 in that article, but this:

Pornhub has not worked with Mixpanel since 2021, which means that the stolen data would be from that year or earlier

It was Reuters reporting on the same story

Pornhub’s data with Mixpanel was last accessed by “a legitimate employee account at Pornhub’s parent company in 2023,” according to the statement. “If this data is in the hands of an unauthorized party, we do not believe that is the result of a security incident at Mixpanel.”
