I agree with what you're saying (except I have heard of university data breaches because I follow that sort of thing), but also the information in this study is extremely personal and sensitive. While I'm sure there was a lot of attention on data security behind the scenes it is a little unnerving to hear someone say, when you aren't expecting it, "we looked at everyone's brokerage history and here's when they felt fear that they were about to lose everything." I do wish there was a way to at least reduce the surprise factor. Perhaps put a note about the data collection protocol in the abstract on the article page.
