This report is deeply troubling. ARC appears determined to remain on a collision course with the State. Previous piratical offenses stemmed from a reckless indifference to human life and a burning need to stoke their own reputation by ‘breaking the story’ first; no such motive suffices here.
Collaboration with kybers seems too incredible to believe. Even I am inclined to think there must be some mistake.
We may never know - while ARC would be wise to issue an explanation as soon as possible, I expect they will not. Previous criticism has shown a deflection onto character of the critic or outright hostility is the most likely response.
