But why would they do that? Besides opening themselves up to getting caught and informing extra people who didn't need to know, why try to rush the announcement at all?

If there was no benefit to anyone, then it's more likely that this was actually a typo.

There's obviously a coverup here, but I don't see why making the announcement as quickly as possible would benefit that coverup.
