No, this was a data leak. The word “hack” has legal implications and shifts the blame away from the company and onto the individual who discovered the leak.
It can be both. The company can be at fault for not keeping something secure while the people who steal the data are at fault for stealing data. Data leaks and hacks are not mutually exclusive.
