The information release was not aggregated.
It listed individual CCW holders by name. Also released:
"A California Department of Justice (DOJ) data leak Monday revealed
names,
addresses,
ages, and
other information related to the state’s concealed carry permit holders."
"The viewable information included “the home addresses, full names, and dates of birth for all of them.”"
"The Reload notes that they “reviewed a copy of the Los Angeles County database and found 244 judge permits listed in the database.”"

I won't speculate on motive, but it is clear that this magnitude of data release was not an "accidental oversight". It was a deliberate act by someone with access to the database, much as the release of Samuel Alito's SCOTUS preliminary opinion in the Dobbs case was a deliberate act.
Whether you believe the release of this information puts CCW holders at greater risk or not - even of protestors arriving outside their homes - quite likely depends on how you vote.
Can't say much about the State acting in anyone's best interests, but its an even bet that whomever released this information was not acting in anyone's best interests.
It will be interesting to see if the State of California ever identifies who released the data, and if anything is ever done about it. That will speak volumes regarding whether the act was quietly sanctioned or not.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the leak was tied to the DOJ Firearms Dashboard.
