So a CS agent stealing it is not possible, and even if data were stolen from Amazons servers it would be useless without the key or years of computing time.
In essence, it's possible but HIGHLY unlikely that it occurred at Amazon.

Exactly. This data is stored encrypted and not easily accessible at any non-fly-by-night company. It's not as easy as *random CSR grabs the credit card number*.
There's a lot of ways easier to get the data. Like someone mentioned previously about the breaches at the credit card processor companies.
