Several Bagle variants have a function to collect email addresses from 
files on the infected system and upload them to the author for later 
spamming. This could be one potential vector for such a breach. 

However, before you go busting the filing company, are you sure that 
none of your own systems (which may have contained these addresses in 
an address book or a browser cache) were infected by Bagle at some 
point?
