There must be a loophole somewhere that someone figured out in mass.
It may have been fried to normal standards but you can easily switch the board on a dead hard drive with a new hard drive and still retreive the data. Not saying that this is what happened, but I have done it with dead drives in the past to get data off of them.

Also if I were you I would Unauthorize all computer if you havent done so and change your iTunes password so if they attempt to do this again they will be unsuccessful. PLus the music will be useless to them as they will need to sign in your account to verify the DRM on each song.
