If someone is connected then they can just talk to their connections and get the information and help they need.
I'm just saying it's not good to post these postmortems publicly. "We got hit by X. We did Y." Now when Q comes along to attack you, they know what not to do and also know how you mitigated X so they can more efficiently attack you. The EV from posting attack postmortems is just not there.
