Last sentence sounds plausible ;-)
How trustworthy / complete (from a statistical sampling POV, as in "not skewed") do you believe your base info to be?
Often data breaches are not talked about in the open unless it is mandated by law to protect the customers whose info was breached.
Any links of compiled data or something you personally follow and (gu)es(s)timate yourself?
While looking at latest breaches will give you probably better protection than my theorizing, quite a few things I found roboting with IE3-6 last millenium were later used as attack vectors, so I try to keep my danger radar in tune ;-)
