Nobody being the whole three people (Anogg, Konogg, and the WoL) who know about it and are shown to be rather concerned about the situation. Maybe four if the dig site chief is involved, I forget. (We could argue about 23 other people being involved, those being the other people in the raid party, but there's another thread for that.) The existence of the Copied Factory and all that it entails is not public knowledge.

I don't feel we have enough information yet to know how, or if, this fits into established lore. But I'm also still working my way through Automata (albeit having large parts of the plot spoiled, thanks to jerks deliberately yapping about it during the raid), so I dunno.
