This is correct. As someone currently working in cyber security research, this is correct.
An easy way to explain it would be... it would be comparable to someone trying to break into your Facebook account by using your email address but not providing the right password, so they never accomplished acquiring access to your Facebook Account. A compromise of security would be if that same person was able to successfully guess your password. As you can see, very different situations.
