Breach used in this case is really spin. Calling it what it is, a "inadvertent disclosure" puts the blame where it belongs.

We call it a breach because the original sense of the word refers to an opening, tear or rupture. In that sense, this is exactly the correct term. Who or what caused the opening is irrelevant.
