This is a delicious complement to the reassurances we are always given when metadata is tracked/stored/aggregated/breached that it's fine because it's just the metadata.

To give fair credit to Notion -- they have provided the raw data that was in scope (assuming you're on an Enterprise SKU). Along with the initial notification. This is quiet rare for these breaches. Fireworks definitely did not in their response.
So we've all got all the data to make our own determination on the data being 'unattributable' or not.

I appreciate the factual disclosure and explanation of exactly what information it contained.
This is astonishing.
They’re saying “OTHER THAN THE ACTUAL CONTENTS OF YOUR CONVERSATION, NO INFORMATION WAS PRESENT”. That is not what unattributable really means and they’re trying to assert otherwise.
It’s trivial to identify the organisation or individuals involved in a conversation most of the time, but Notion are trying to make out that because the metadata wasn’t present, it’s no cause for concern.
That’s absolute bullshit and will give people a false sense of security. The contents of your conversation IS the critical information. Notion’s desktop app is very aggressive in prompting users to transcribe their calls and I imagine a large proportion do so by default. The potential for harm here is large.
I appreciate it’s Fireworks’ fault this happened, but Notion’s response destroys my confidence in them.
