You are very wrong - the hackers brought down their site and the law firm brought the site back online from a backup - the major FUCKUP, was they brought the site back online with directory listing enabled, leaving the entire tgz tar file of the drive in the web root directory.
It didn't take long at all for someone to see it and download it, extract the qmail directory and seed it to the torrents.
Their server was not hacked at all. They brought this on themselves
This was a fuckup of data protection to the biggest degree.
