Sure it could. A junior programmer aware of the values but not the repercussions could easily overlook this without any malice or disregard for privacy.

Right, let's blame the intern game.

Didn't that server endpoint need an upkeep? Didn't they wonder why it's getting all the traffic? Maybe they were DDOSed or something?

Multiple people in that company knew exactly what they were doing.
