I'd recommend taking a look at the Appendix E: Methodology. It's a little long at three pages, but hopefully answers your questions. If not, hit up the email address or twitter account on page 47 and we'll answer them.

Gabe, thanks for that. Just checked the Appendix E section you mentioned, instantly a fan of what I saw there. Glad you have filters in place rather than just taking any breach report into the data set.
