Unless they phished an admin level password, and then were able to breach firewall to gain server access, not sure how they gained access to all emails. We use Lotus Notes, that's what it would take to do that here. Knowing my email password would only get you my emails. And Notes has no web browser admin, you need a Notes client with access to server. If you had Notes admin account with access to all mail files, then this hack would be possible. But I have little experience wih Exchange, curious how that would differ?
