Hmmm.  To me, that sounds plausible, *if* they have really lax security
settings in their network.  For example, any decent Intrusion Detection
System (IDS), or even a sysadmin poring over Snort logs, ought to be
able to spot an attempt to "brute force" an account.  From your
description, it sounds like either /really/ lucky guessing or a brute
force attack (keep trying every possible combination until something works).

Or, more insidious, and probably more likely, one or more of your
computers might be infected with a key logger.  How recent are your
anti-virus siguatures?  When was the last time you did a full system
scan?  When was the last time you did a spyware scan?  Did you use at
least two (preferably three) anti-spyware scanners?
