“True companies have to careful but generally once the water breaks, baby is on the way out and saying possible birth is rather silly. ” Good point. Being realistic at least.

“And yet there was just article here on corporate response a week or two ago and how it is poorly managed.” Agree. PR is always the hardest part after the attack.

Unthinkable
“The website of real estate title insurance company First American Financial Corp. left exposed bank account statements, mortgage and tax information, Social Security numbers, wire transaction receipts, and driver's license images, KrebsOnSecurity reported today.” When are these people learn? Are they not following news? Do not leave anything open out in the cloud.

And yet there was just article here on corporate response a week or two ago and how it is poorly managed.  You can't have the cake and eat it too.   True companies have to careful but generally once the water breaks, baby is on the way out and saying possible birth is rather silly.

Re: Non denial denial
You can blame lawyers and our legal system (and that entails) for all of the 'alleged' instances of misconduct, malfeasance and other acts of impropriety. Admit nothing and deny everything right to the very end.

Non denial denial
Possible access - gotta love use of the English language.  A broken window and door indicates it may be possible that a thief broke into my home.  Not probable, just possible.  As if that is kinda sorta not really something to worry about.  How about HONESTY and say we were breached, access to data was public and here is we have done and will do to protect your data in case YOU were compromised.

The 10 Most Impactful Types of Vulnerabilities for Enterprises Today
Managing system vulnerabilities is one of the old est - and most frustrating - security challenges that enterprise defenders face. Every software application and hardware device ships with intrinsic flaws - flaws that, if critical enough, attackers can exploit from anywhere in the world. It's crucial that defenders take stock of what areas of the tech stack have the most emerging, and critical, vulnerabilities they must manage. It's not just zero day vulnerabilities. Consider that CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog lists vulnerabilitlies in widely used applications that are "actively exploited," and most of them are flaws that were discovered several years ago and have been fixed. There are also emerging vulnerabilities in 5G networks, cloud infrastructure, Edge applications, and firmwares to consider.
