I scan for a living, have been doing so for a better part of the last 10 years. I spend lots of time keeping up with what other people are scanning for.

Yeah sure, if a malicious hacker had access and knew what they had access to they wouldn’t just leave the data there. Odds are this would just be discovered by scripts trying to drop malware for DDoS, or ransomware.
As a black hat hacker scanning for things like this I always had the problem that I was finding way more data than I could realistically store and process, I’m sure I missed hundreds of things like this in my results because of that. The criminals doing this stuff don’t have teams of people working for them analyzing the data.
Then there’s the fact that a very significant chunk of blackhat hackers just won’t be working in late december. I understand that this may not sound like such an convincing argument at first, but this’ll almost certainly exclude at least half of the malicious actors who could’ve possibly found it.
I’m not saying it’s impossible, I just don’t think it’s particularly likely.
