What would settle it: Copies of SafePal's customer notification emails or a company statement confirming direct outreach

What to make of it

Treat the existence of the breach and the absence of wallet/fund compromise as established; treat the precise customer count (39,798) and whether SafePal made a formal, detailed disclosure as unresolved until SafePal's own statement or filing is checked.
