Was coming around to make this point that in the cybersecurity world the word "breach" can have a very particular meaning with legal implications. As a cybersecurity professional, we are trained not to refer to anything as a breach while communicating findings of investigations or alerting organizations to activities that we see unless that has already been legally established.

There is plenty concerning about their response to this situation, and this phrasing can be confusing, but from my POV in the industry this choice of words is understandable.
