It anything, it’s opposite of breach.

A social engineering attack that enables an attacker to gain unauthorized access to Mixpanel's systems and export a dataset containing names, user IDs, location data, and email addresses sounds exactly like a breach to me.

- jacquesm 10mo agoThat is not how it works. A breach is unauthorized disclosure, the mechanism through which it is achieved is not relevant to that classification. An employee that walks out with a file would also be classified as a breach, even if no systems got compromised from the outside.
