It is quite possible that 1,500 computers were taken offline, but that
sounds like a much bigger issue than some e-mail getting hacked....

I still think it was 1,500 e-mail accounts. But perhaps my information is
wrong as well...don't know. I guess only time will tell.

IndiaTimes is saying e-mail accounts....

A single Exchange server could have been taken offline and caused that many
boxes to be shutdown...
