'Did not follow established information security policies' is perfect passive construction for when someone left a file wide open and nobody noticed for two days. The AI threat paragraph at the end is decorative. This was just someone clicking share instead of save.

An internal file containing high-level management information and the names and work email addresses of 51 government officials was publicly accessible for [about] 40 hours, following the actions of a member of staff who did not follow established information security policies.

    'About' 40 hours is doing a lot of work. You either logged when the file went public or you're guessing because the audit trail is a joke. If it's the latter, the real story is that your incident response is vibes based.
