No it didn’t, they left information publicly accessible and somebody accessed it.

It appears politicians and the media are using the priming of the Hugging Face story to manufacture alarmist narratives to serve their interests now.

Remember, politicians want you scared so they can capture more power, the media wants you scared so you keep giving your eyeballs for harvesting and buying subscriptions.
