Apparently they're from an older hack:
A Diligent spokesperson said the leak appeared to be from a 2022 hack affecting its subsidiary business Steele Compliance Solutions, which it acquired in 2021. Fewer than 15 customers, including Leidos, used the product at the time, they added.
Why would hackers not release immediately?
That is unusual. Maybe they were paid to not leak?

Exactly what I was alluding to.

or maybe they were just cleaning up. Showing that they are able to hack and need to be taken seriously?
