Security Incident

Also: incident

An event where confidentiality, integrity or availability was actually harmed or credibly threatened.

In more detail

An incident is what happened, as opposed to what could happen. Many incidents involve no software flaw at all: reused passwords, public-by-mistake storage, tricked staff, or a tool deleting the wrong folder. Handling one well is the subject of incident response.
