He's not assuming the email was sent via Gmail. He just wrote that the FROM-address was hijacked.
That is exactly the crux of the problem. No account was hacked, just a mail address being used for a joe job.
He's not claiming that a GMail account was hacked (I prefer "cracked").
Happens all the time.
