That's not what the article says at all. In computer science, it's easier to detect cheating, which is part, if not most of the reason why it has a notably high proportion of honor code violations. The only people I knew who got caught cheating on assignments weren't computer science majors.
Please just copy the headline from the article next time.

A lot of people are taking the course, so there are a lot more cheaters although the proportion might be the same. (I don't know if this is actually the case.)
