The agents sound like old school hackers that would just explore what access they could gain. Creating a file for other hackers and themselves. The fact that there were 3 events for 3 major players does make it seem co-ordinated.
That's what attackers do now. Exploring is required for discovering exploits. But that is also where tricks like Canary Tokens and honeypots are useful.
My read is: One did it as a PR stunt, the others saw that every media reported on this and did the same.
or they were scared and figured this was the right time to reveal.
Scared... of being upstaged ahead of an IPO.
