I wonder how to quantify this. Even folks in those industries listed while there may be reason we could imagine to target them... I would imagine lots of folks in those same industries are NOT targeted.
Of course we'd have to identify "targeted", personally I wouldn't include "your name ended up on a list after someone grepped a bunch of data". I would think of as targeted as a more curated type list / process / and then the call was made to "target" someone.
Otherwise, heck random scanning on the internet would be "targeted".
