It's your favourite Hadyn! Or second favourite Haydn.
Also I work in cybersecurity so sometimes I post about stuff like that.

I wrote a thing for Herald! The main point is that, between the injunction and statements by the company itself, we have a pretty good idea what happened now - and it's a pretty basic failure of access control. It's low hanging fruit for hackers.

As I replied to Kevin, cybersecurity comms are a liiittle different than other crises in that there’s an adversary looking to use any info to do more bad things.
So you need to balance giving out a lot of info but not too much.

Excellent thread Haydn! I recently learned a 4pt plan for crisis comms 1. Tell the truth 2. Tell it all 3. Tell it yourself 4. Tell it quickly, that I like too. Sits alongside civil defence formula: 1. What do we know 2. What don’t we know 3. What we’re doing 4. What we need you to do
