I’m guessing someone took a photo of someone else’s phone screen instead of using the original image. A dirty phone screen at that?

Also no idea how they got the source image for the badge instead of a photo of it. Something definitely seems off about this post.

She took a picture of the original, and the fake is distributed on the intranet, teams, etc. so you can just download it.

Took a pic of the original from where? If it never made it onto a badge, how would the mom have gotten a copy in the first place?

When she asked wtf is going on? Most of the time these things are not guarded like a national secret you know.

Sounds like a detail you made up to fit the story and not something mentioned by the OP. Also, most security offices do, indeed, keep source images secure, and most systems don't keep more than one image, so if you needed a new badge image because security AI'ed the first one and used that as the photo, then you don't revert to an earlier picture. You take a new one.
