Yeah, but it's about the larger problem. It's how many times has this particular bad actor been causing these problems? Because I don't think a lot of people realize that when one hack is happening, it's actually several that have been released. It's not just we punched your one company because you're the most special one out there. No, they like scatter spray at the same time.

So it's more than one. And the FBI needs that information because they're going to go catch the bad guy. That's what they're going to do. That's what the FBI does.

And I think it's super important that people look at scenarios and they do these exercises in the planning and then they come up with playbooks. What's going to happen?

And I think people sharing that information and maybe even some of that burden and struggle of, hey, I had this happen last year.
