Personally I think Co-op did a really good job getting out of that situation and minimising impact.

I definitely think if you have a LAPSUS$ style advanced persistent teenagers situation, tilt towards open and honest comms as those kids will use secrecy against ya. It’s 2025, it’s okay to say you got hacked, people largely understand. Also, in IR, lawyers are usually stuck in 1980 advice - it’s just advice, they ain’t yo boss.

The people arrested as part of the Co-op and M&S hack investigation have been released on bail.

Previously when this happened with LAPSUS$, they just continued hacking stuff.

I understand the people released have not been charged.
