> Among the measures taken, Boss wrote that the Momentive is giving some employees new email accounts because their old ones are still inaccessible. The company notes that it is using a new domain—momentiveco.com for new email addresses rather than momentive.com.

Guessing they're not competent enough to purge their email systems of the original malware attachments nor have procedures sufficient to keep new computers from being re-encrypted.

New email domain means old emails aren't accessible.
