At the risk of continuing an already questionable topic, I'm gonna toss
my own comments:

Where I work got hit, though on a smaller scale, I believe .  One of our
research groups lost 25,000 images, many of which were exported to the
world.  Of course, we could restore off tape, so the damage was minimal.
On the other hand, one user lost about 100 images from a thesis that was
due the next day.  She had no backups.

The numbers arrived at are, IMHO, generally pretty fishy.  However, that
doesn't imply that there aren't real and serious damages.
