Pfizer comments on 17,000 stolen names and social security numbers.

Pfizer "couldn’t say for sure whether anyone actually stole the vulnerable data," according to the WSJ Health Blog.

Pfizer could, however, say that 15,700 employees "had their data accessed and copied" and 1,250 "may have had their data copied."

Not stolen.

Just copied.

According to Pfizer.

OK, so if I hack into the Pfizer mainframe and copy files, that's not stealing then.
