I doubt it.

The news story there claims the first step in this scandal was that Paula Broadwell's yahoo account was compromised. That's not too hard if you can guess her password hints.

The next step, it seems, was sending some trolling emails. That requires acquiring or just guessing some email addresses. The people who got the trolling emails set the discovery of the affair in motion. Well played. But did not require a 133t hAx0r.
