The article refers to this kind of incident as "data loss" (when they
say "sensitive information lost of stolen").
It seems like "loss" is the wrong word. When I think of data loss, I
think of a failed hard drive without backups. They obvoiously still
have the data, because they are reporting it to the credit card
companies.
I guess this is the logical extension of referring data copying as "theft".
