I'm wondering if you have or are going to contact the authorities?
tdfcash3 raised this point and a very valid one. European law for example is extremely strict and clear on this matter, and all programme owners anyway, but especially Europe need to take data security very VERY seriously. The end user of any software that implements personal data storage is ultimately responsible for the security of that data. Not TMM. Most all business software is closed source, so everyone in this industry needs to not be complacent that because XYZ is their software that it's secure.

It looks like NATS has a security hole which is/is being/has been closed, I dunno. But you all need to be taking your customer's data security seriously and checking login logs periodically. You, the user are ultimately responsible for that.

We are proactive on these matters, which is why we've been breach-free for some time now
