• Abstract: Data breaches refer to unauthorized accesses to data. Typically but not always, data breaches are about cyber crime. An organization facing such a crime is often also in a crisis situation. Therefore, organizations should prepare also for data breaches in their crisis management procedures. These procedures should include also crisis communication plans. To this end, this paper examines data breach crisis communication strategies and their practical executions. The background comes from the vibrant crisis communication research domain. According to a few qualitative case studies from Finland, the conventional wisdom holds well; the successful cases indicate communicating early, taking responsibility, offering an apology, and notifying public authorities. The unsuccessful cases show varying degrees of the reverse, including shifting of blame, positioning of an organization as a victim, and failing to notify public authorities. With these qualitative insights, the paper contributes to the research domain by focusing specifically on data breach crises, their peculiarities, and their management, including with respect to European regulations that have been neglected in existing crisis communication research.

  This study introduces a novel approach to disaster text classification by enhancing a pre-trained Large Language Model (LLM) Our methodology involves creating a comprehensive instruction dataset from disaster-related tweets, which is then used to fine-tune an open-source LLM. This fine-tuned model can classify multiple aspects of disaster-related information simultaneously, such as the type of event, informativeness, and involvement of human aid.

  In crisis events, people often use social media platforms such as Twitter to disseminate information about the situation, warnings, advice, and support. fully-supervised approaches require annotating vast amounts of data and are impractical due to limited response time. Semi-supervised models can be biased, performing moderately well for certain classes while performing extremely poorly for others. We propose a simple but effective debiasing method, DeCrisisMB, that utilizes a Memory Bank to store and perform equal sampling for generated pseudo-labels from each class at each training.

  This paper presents CrisisLTLSum, the largest dataset of local crisis event timelines available to date. CrisisLTLSum contains 1,000 crisis event timelines across four domains: wildfires, local fires, traffic, and storms. Our initial experiments indicate a significant gap between the performance of strong baselines compared to the human performance on both tasks.

• Introducing the ICBe Dataset: Very High Recall and Precision Event Extraction from Narratives about International Crises [0.0]
  We conceive of international affairs as a strategic chess game between adversaries, requiring a systematic way to measure pieces, moves, and gambits. We develop such a measurement strategy with an ontology of crisis actions and interactions and apply it to a high-quality corpus of crisis narratives recorded by the International Crisis Behavior (ICB) Project. We introduce a new crisis event dataset ICB Events (ICBe). We find that ICBe captures the process of a crisis with greater accuracy and granularity than other well-regarded events or crisis datasets.

  Humanitarian crises are prone to induce biases in the data and the cognitive processes of analysts and decision-makers. We investigated whether adaptive approaches mitigate the interplay of data and cognitive biases. We found that analysts fail to successfully debias data, even when biases are detected. We suggest debiasing as a possible counter-strategy against these bias effects in crisis information management.

  Social media has become an important tool to share information about crisis events such as natural disasters and mass attacks. Detecting actionable posts that contain useful information requires rapid analysis of huge volume of data in real-time. We train an adversarial neural model to remove latent event-specific biases and improve the performance on tweet importance classification.

• A framework for effective corporate communication after cyber security incidents [2.66512000865131]
  Major cyber security incidents can represent a cyber crisis for an organisation, in particular because of the associated risk of reputational damage. This research seeks to tackle this problem through a critical, multi-faceted investigation into the efficacy of crisis communication and public relations following a data breach. It does so by drawing on academic literature, obtained through a systematic literature review, and real-world case studies. The validity of this framework is demonstrated by its evaluation through interviews with senior industry professionals, as well as a critical assessment against relevant practice and research.
