Personally, I'm tired of hearing the word 'breach' used to describe unlocked doors. It is absolutely critical that the door is locked, but a breach is when somebody enters that door and/or took something. If I ever tell a friend of family member that there was a data breach, nobody ever assumes that breach means 'unlocked door' (so they feel misled or like the story was exaggerated)

'Breached' make it sound like somebody other than Adobe had to do something bad to get to the data. 'Unsecured' or something like that would perhaps describe it better, and put the blame where it belongs.

I think it's fair to say that user privacy was violated... by Adobe! Intentional or not, they failed to protect the personal data they collected from users.
