Most hacks, these days, seem to fall into one of three categories:

1. State actors

2. For profit criminals

3. Teens for lulz and street cred

I guess the first group would probably keep it pretty quiet. The second would keep it quiet until they've abused the data as much as they want to, then sell the remainder on the dark web. The third would make a big noisy mess right away.
