BBC News - 'New release' of climate emails

A hacker entered a backup server at the university and downloaded a file containing administrative passwords, which were subsequently used to access a vast number of files and emails dating back to 1997.

It was clear at the time that only a small portion of the total tranche downloaded had been released. It is likely that the newly-released material was accessed during the original hack.

i'd appreciate your response to the following thoughts emailed by Mann.
