I mean define breached? I don't think anyone ever would say that without TLS you can use HTTP to drop into a shell on the server. But you can, largely arbitrarily, mess with the content of the site if you're adjacent to either the sever or client, or in the path between them. Maybe this matters a lot for someone's security, maybe it doesn't at all.

Breached as in someone else has control over the server.

If you can hijack the connection (i.e. MITM) you don’t need to control the server in order to compromise the integrity of the information.

True, but this would not satisfy "breached".
