the hackers had the database administrators user account credentials, and were coming in through the VPN via said credentials. I doubt stronger passwords would have mattered.

Hmmm, maybe a reasonable argument for the crypto-card type VPNs where the passwords aren't reusable...

Definitely +1 for that good and safer idea.
