A breach is when security measures are bypassed and a leak is when information is given to someone who should not have it (a spill is a leak). If he was using an insecure connection for sensitive communications, then the “breach” would be his decision to do that while accidentally including the wrong people in the chat and the “leak” would be Jeffrey Goldberg receiving the messages.

“ An air gap involves physically isolating a computer or network from other networks to prevent unauthorized access and data breaches. This method creates a literal "air gap" between the secured network and any other unsecured networks.
