Report or scoop
“there is likely to have been a data breach although that has not been confirmed by Change Healthcare at this stage”
Quoted from HIPAA Journal: BlackCat uses double extortion (exfiltrate, then encrypt), so a data breach is likely though unconfirmed by Change Healthcare. The author introduces it as evidence the problem is 'getting more grim by the day' and later treats the HIPAA breach as fact.
The statement passes on information rather than an expectation: cites sources ('I am told', 'sources say'), or names a date for another organization's internal action (layoffs, hires, closures) 30 days or less ahead. Listed in the reports table with a confirmation rate, never scored.
