Count to divulge confidential information (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tell

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

This could be a double definition.

'count' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'divulge confidential information' is the second definition.
'tell' can be an answer for 'divulge' (I've seen this in another clue). I am not sure about the 'confidential information' bit.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tell that I've seen before include "Count - recount" , "Reveal - command" , "work in a bank" , "his hitting the apple?" , "Apprise" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
