Penn State was hit by a China-based cyber attack, apparently.

That has the official response with all four parts:

1. It was a sophisticated attack (say that so your cyber-insurance guys won't nail you for failing at due diligence)
2. No personal information was lost or exposed (say that so you don't lose whatever certification your networks have)
3. We have contained the response (maybe you have, maybe you haven't... say that to assure stakeholders that all will be well)
4. We called Mandiant.

EVERY official response says those four things.
