"Earlier this year it was discovered that the
cave had been unlawfully accessed and a section of the delicate finger flutings had been vandalized, with damage scratched across them into the side of the
cave..."
I've looked at several articles, but none indicate the date when the damage was discovered. Nor does there seem to be any guess at when it might have occurred (logically, it must have been since the last authorized visit to the
cave).
The first place I saw this news was on CNN. Here's a link to that article:

While searching, I also came across this 2020 proposal to have guided tours of the
cave. However, it was rejected in January 2022 (scroll to the bottom to see the final decision).
