25 late 2012 vintage GPUs gets you 180 billion MD5 tries per second. With a fairly modest budget you can rent a whole lot more GPU power than that. A little Googling gets me several companies offering password hash cracking as a service.

But we're assuming, at the very least, that they're not using MD5 and are instead using SHA-2/SHA-256 or (s|b)crypt.
There's an order of magnitude difference between brute forcing MD5 and brute forcing something better.
