Based on the title of the article Unencrpyted Customer Records.
If is not encrypted then it is trivial to read the data.
The only thing is having the tape drive to read it, my guess is that with 4.5 million (customers) that these are tapes for a mainframe, so Tape readers will be a little harder to come by, but not impossible.
