That isn't a reasonable analogy in any way. The only thing that could happen with the data would be that it is exploited. The only thing that happens to stolen cars is not going to the taliban. These are not even similar in nature. They aren't saying "the data was stolen". They also aren't saying "the data was available for exploit we are unable to determine if that occured." What if they never looked for evidence of unauthorized access? They wouldn't have any! This is the same as modern science and medicine frequently using this academic phrase, no evidence, when what they mean is that there has been no investigation.
