I haven't been able to find really detailed information about this "breaking through".
The title seems to me overwrought / frantic.

The study contains only 150 people fully vaccinated. They state the variant was found 8 more times in the vaccinated. There could be 1 in the non vaccinated, 8 in the vaccinated and we don't know if the cases were severe, or just mild or asymptomatic.

To quote them :

"Since we found a very small number of vaccinees infected with B.1.351, it is statistically meaningless to report disease outcomes," he said.
They even admit the numbers are too low to conclude anything.
