Most people won't be directly involved in assessing or fixing the fault. "Sorry the network link went down, here is the after analysis report," seems like a reasonable cover. There are many espionage activities which are covered up, only to come out decades later.

But really, I don't have any evidence that this possibility is any more or less likely than any other.
