From an economic perspective, the letter reflects cost-benefit analysis, since the company decided it was better to notify customers and maintain transparency than risk higher legal or reputational costs later.

They are trying to maintain a positive relationship and reassure people that they value their data and security. Additionally, signaling theory applies because the company is using the letter to communicate credibility and responsibility, signaling to both customers and regulators that they are taking the breach seriously.
