How do they know??

Hopefully they log data access success and failures and send those logs to a centralized server. That's how I would 
make that claim. But I might say "all evidence indicates..." anyway.

I was just reading the story on the Wal-Mart attack in Wired :

In the story they claim "no sensitive customer data was stolen". How can

they be so sure?

The story tells that the attacker got Admin privs, so access to all user

accounts and passwords. IMHO they can encrypt all they want. It's game over.



How can they make a claim that no sensitive data was stolen?
