The National Archives should not be held at-fault.
No, you are correct, it is someone on the Jan. 6 committee, or a staffer, that either did this on purpose, or did not give a shit enough about these folks privacy, to make sure to dot their "i's," and cross their "t's." If it had been political allies, I am positive this mistake would not have been made. They clearly just did not care about these folks. We see how folks snipe at eachother on this board. . . they wouldn't give a crap about the other side's cyber security, unless there were real consequences if they screwed up.
A report says that the House Jan. 6 committee inadvertently released Social Security numbers belonging to nearly 2,000 individuals who visited the White House in December 2020.

That the opposition folks were responsible for this, should probably all have it marked on their permanent record that they did this, if they are still serving in the bureaucracy in D.C., they should immediately be fired, and probably put on criminal probation, and, if there is any data breach or criminal use of this data, the person that did it, should probably be fined, for each incident that occurs here after.
At the point they can no longer pay the fine, they should have to serve time, IMO.
It will be the only way to prevent the competing partisan and corporate factions from committing obvious cyber crimes on each other, for political and economic gain.
