well, there's a bit of a big hint...

"Executives held to account? And three underlings thanked for their work? What is this madness?"

I thought the same, until this rather illuminating bit of the story...

"Miscreants...stole 1.5 million citizens' health records, including those of prime minister Lee Hsien Loong, who is presumed to be the ultimate target of the attack."

He's basically the Patrician, after all. It'd be rather more shocking if the miscreants had only stolen the records of a few "regular" people and the same punishment had happened...
