This article just reads as an ad for the scanning company.
Also, while it’s possibly true, it’s based off seriously small sample sizes.

And sampling bias.
Plus they pick and choose numbers for a more drastic headline. “Sensitive” data is a very broad category, I don’t know what criteria they used but that could be as little as someone’s name being mentioned with a “todo” note. The quarter of a percent mentioned as having a “critical” issue I venture is closer to what most people think of when they read the title. Infosec consultants have a bad habit of inflating numbers until actual risks are lost in the noise.
