If a hacker got in that server those files would be release unredacted everywhere not far right controlled
They didn't know what they were doing and got caught immediately so no chance to leak
Nah, most blackhat hackers are deeply shitty people. The idea of noble robinhood style hackers is romantic as fuck so you hear about it all the time, but the vast majority are thugs looking to do things like hold your data hostage or stick hidden volumes full of child porn on unsecured remote systems. The hacker known as 4chan fucking loves Epstein, and while 4chan is a shell of its former self, it's a great indicator of the attitudes of the subculture.
Most hackers aren't even picking specific targets. They just scan every server they can connect to for various known vulnerabilities and go after whichever servers they can find a route into.
I can easily believe a hacker would break into a sensitive government server without knowing or caring about its contents.
I was not seeing it under “robin hood style” hacking but more like lets piss them off governement ( iran or any other that hate them ) backed blackhat style the hacker that could blackmail them already as the data anyway ( russia, israel and probably more )
