In other words, we have to pay quite a bit of money to get a glimpse of how acurate the report is, or even what it means. We can get graphs from the samples, but there is no way to read any of the text in those images, and thus no way to see their definitions, or any more of the content than directly backs up the figures quoted in that article. So, unless we spend close to a thousand pound we can't bring any meaning into the article.

I think I'll go the way others have started, and question its real-world applicability. They say they've gotten the data from real world systems, but they don't say how many of the real world problems "manual breaches" include. The article also fails to mention why what they have found could be the case. Making this yet more FUD, something which is all to rampant, and hides the real issues.
