"The survey sample began with 10 telephone interviews, which were followed by a 30-question survey taken by 59 participants involved in quantifying losses and responding to breaches of sensitive information. Of those, 26 experienced true breaches and finished the survey questions."
So the n value is 26? That is far too small a sample to draw any conclusions from. For example:
"Well over half of the survey respondents (64%) reported that the breach they described did not receive media attention."
The percentage sounds significant but it's really only 16 or 17 people.
