D is important too, but we can't ignore the breach itself.

I remember reading that notifying customers is important, but I wonder if we should do that before contacting law enforcement. Option D feels a bit premature.

I think we practiced a similar scenario where consulting with executives was crucial. Option C sounds like a solid first step to strategize.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like destroying the data could be risky. What if it affects the investigation?

I'm a bit confused by the wording here. What exactly does "larger fluctuations" mean in this context? I'll need to think this through carefully.
