Look at it this way, you read in the newspaper that somebody was robbed in a bad section of town, and the thieves got away with $500,000 in cash. You feel sorry for the victim, but you have to question the victims judgment for walking around unprotected with that much cash.
And, if I weren't a moral relativist, I would probably also find a way to muster some condemnation of the thieves as well.

I don't think anyone here is suggesting that the lion's share of the blame doesn't fall squarely on the people that illegally accessed the account. And that those people should be prosecuted if they can be found.
There do seem to be a lot of people here that think that ONLY the perpetrators are responsible for what went on and that people who use services that are known to be full of security problems shouldn't be criticized for using them.

You can condemn the thugs, but would you want the idiot who was reckless with $500,000 cash running your business?
