The PR team soon made an official statement. They offered a hefty compensation package and quickly got things under control online.

To make things even better, the tech team soon reported good news. They’d managed to drive the attackers off, shore up the firewall, and get the servers back up and running. They kept at it all night until sunrise, and only then was everything finally sorted out.
