They definitely did make a public statement:

Data that is not analyzed is not information. They need to analyze, test, link it it to results and completely verify, not announce suppositions, or they will certainly be accused of providing misinformation or outright lying if any part or what they reveal should turn out to be wrong.
They have said what they believe they can without running headlong into a legal and PR minefield.
