Adam brings up an interesting point about this case and possibly others.
How many companies are holding off on notification of any kind, citing
"ongoing investigation"? If the FBI is involved and have exhausted leads,
the case stays open for 7 years (or more). This would be a convenient way
for a company to hide an incident from the public and possibly escape
legal obligation to do so.
