I think this is a disproportionately negative title compared to what actually happened, and solely for one word, "breach".
My opinion is that it conveys something more serious than a bug. Thousands of secrets have been leaked on Github/Bitbucket, and we don't need to report every single one as a "breach".
For instance many AWS credentials have been reported as being leaked on HackerOne, but I don't see Ars writing an article for each one saying "X company breach let's outside hacker have full access to X's infrastructure"
