e-Week this week page 15 has a story that the hacker's data was e-mailed to 
St Petersburg Russia & the attack was with the Troj/Qaz Trojan horse, in 
which if Microsoft had a firewall in place with a reasonable proximity to 
latest version of the code, then the hacker would not have been able to 
penetrate.  This leads to speculation about developers who remove security, 
because it is easier to install stuff, then forget to put it back on, and 
about not keeping software up to date.
