I doubt it was simply the result of packet sniffing, since as you mentioned she didnt user her Photobucket account for a year. Chances are one (or all) of her emails were accessed and then everything else was reset. I would lay good money that it is someone she knows, and has given her password to something in the past and it has been reused as email password. Why would a 'hacker' want her Photobucket account?

She need to start the Google/MS Live account password reset process (which is fairly extensive), and start to gain control of her stuff again. Ensuring that the recovery emails that these accounts use is the one which she has access to.
