How on earth did the hackers get the crypto keys ...
that must have been needed to unlock such sensitive personal data ?
Is one of the questions that will be awaiting the CEO, given the victim lists access to high-quality legal advice.
A plastic surgery clinic frequented by celebrities such as Katie Price has been targeted by hackers. London Bridge Plastic Surgery confirmed in a statement that it has been the victim of a cyber attack.

Until an individuals data is recognized as a basic right enforced with the ferocity of our many moral laws why would a company bother with securing any data? Better to just claim measures are being taken to protect individuals data and then walk all the way to the bank with your own compensation and use other peoples money to start up yet another company.
Far better than getting caught breaking other laws or with contraband that would result in all assets and profits being seized as proceeds from crime.
High end businesses frequented by celebrities are successful because they are frequented by celebrities. It's word of mouth through the celeb network. You just need to get one in and be happy, then it snowballs so long as you keep them happy and believing the spiel. Reputation is everything. Changing the name of that sort of business is tantamount to starting all over again from scratch, albeit with the advantage of pre-existing contacts.
Celebrities such as Katie Price ....
Is there anything she has not, in a tediously attention grabbing way, revealed lots of times already?
Hard to dredge up sympathy if all the surgery was cosmetic for ego reasons only (as opposed to worthy surgery "improving" burn / accident damage, congenital defects etc)

Depends what you mean by "connected to the Internet" There are very few networks that are not connected to "The Internet" these days.
I've worked on one isolated network in the last 20 years (truly isolated), all others have to varying degrees been connected to the internet and protected with proxies, firewalls, WAF's and other things.
Ultimately the protection does comes down to layers of security. The more layers, and the more diverse those layers are, generally the harder it is to compromise. But there is always still the possibility. And operating on truly isolated (air gapped) networks isn't generally all that practical.
And as someone else has pointed out, if they have stolen terabytes, its either taken weeks over the network, or it's been a more physical leak.

Indeed. Zappa said it best:
"A fine little girl, she waits for me / She's as plastic as she can be
She paints her face with plastic goo / And wrecks her hair with some shampoo"
From Plastic People, track one on the album Absolutely Free by The Mothers of Invention ... and THAT was written back in 1967! Frank always was prophetic ... as much as he hated the idea ;-)
It looks like you could transfer out about 80GBytes per day - on 1Mbit/s.
If their pipe is big enough, they wouldn't notice that.
When nobody is in the office, you could probably crank that up quite a bit.
So, if the access lasted for a couple of days or weekends, TBytes is not impossible.
