if you have access its not difficult to do a remote Mysql dump (database of a site) that like 1 line of code..
Phil probably didn't have the 2 step authentication that cloudflare offers activated (lets be honest, who does that.. its a pain to use)
and his password was probably easy to hack.. something like.. "iloveme" or "philisthebest"

Pretty sure the passwords would be encrypted. Also, passwords to what exactly?

Password encryption is a pretty big joke on a wordpress (think polytron was a wordpress site) site.. heck I do it from time to time for some websites if for example the old webmaster has died and no one has the admin password. All the user accounts can be exposed fairly easily.. and since most people use the same password for a lot of sites..
