Not every user has access to every table or database. So if a company separates such things based on various categories, brandnamecars.com's hacker exploited account might get all the car users' credentials, but not the case for brandnametrucks.com, who had a separate table or database, and restricted the brandnamecars.com user account properly with permissions so it couldn't get that info, even if the same server handles both the databases or tables.
