'Panama papers' came from email server hack at Mossack Fonseca

I was wondering when at least one media outlet was going to say where this data came from, though pretty obvious either this or an inside job.

It must be if you can hold open a pipe long enough to suck 2.6TERAbyte through it. Decent IT management would have picked up complaints about "slow Internet" long before you hit the GB mark, let alone TB.

I've done some back of the envelope calcs (I'm pre-coffee, so please check this yourself :) ) - if you sucked data out at 5MB/s, 2,6TB would take you pretty close to a year so this has either travelled through the door on tape or something else happened there that I find hard to explain without some serious lapses in security, process and judgement.

As I said elsewhere, something doesn't quite add up in this whole story.
