This dump was made public on purpose. So were other dumps in cases like that.

OK, what's the advantage for the hacker? Except fame, I mean.

Isn't it better to stay quiet, to help ensure long-term access?

It all depends on the goal right? In this case it seems the goal was to harm the company because they didn't pay ransom. Not to perform long term espionage.
