I think for a lot of societal change to happen, information needs to be public first. (Then it becomes common knowledge, then an alternate plan gets buy-in, then that becomes common knowledge and so on.)
A foreign adversary getting the info doesn’t mean it’s public, although it has increased the number of actors N who now have that piece of info in the world. Large N is not stable so eventually the info may end up public anyway.
