No, his e-mail was access while he was away. His computer was broken into when he was there reading an e-mail. I understand all that, the only part I don't understand is how they got the source OUT the internal network. I
The payload of the e-mail exploit was a program that allows basicallty remote control of the PC. With this access he could easily gain access to others and using Gabe's access to the source grabbing the latest source and sending it back to themselves any way they wanted. Once they were in the network, the rest was easy I'm sure.
