Data breaches should always be news, even if it is unsurprising to you personally. There's literally always going to be someone out there who doesn't have the same information that you do.
Edit: yes, I do think it ought to be considered a data breach when data is shared with additional parties, even (or maybe especially) when that party is the government.
And there's going to be people who have information I don't. That doesn't mean they should run the same article over and over.
I say, keep talking about it until it gets fixed. Reporting it once in 2023 and then never again just enables sweeping things under the rug.
