According to a report in "Spiegel Online", the hackers managed to grab 16 Gigabytes of data from 15 members of parliament. The hackers targeted Outlook data and stole address book & and calendar entries as well as all the emails and attachments from the MPs. It cannot be assumed that any of this data was encrypted.
