Yes. Your public and private exponents reveal ed−1, a nonzero multiple of λ(N). The standard RSA private exponent reveals the factorization algorithm uses repeated squaring of random residues to obtain a nontrivial square root of one and hence factors N with a greatest common divisor. Once p and q are known, compute ϕ(N) and invert every other customer's public exponent to obtain that customer's private exponent.
