This sort of victim blaming is all too common in the mainstream press:
IRS Says More Taxpayers May Have Been Hacked http://time.com/4000659/irs-taxpayer-hacked-cybercrime/ http://time.com/4000659/irs-taxpayer-hacked-cybercrime/
It wasn't the taxpayers that were hacked - it was the IRS.
Hackers stole personal information from 104,000 taxpayers, IRS says

Hackers did not steal personal information from 104,000 taxpayers - they stole it from the IRS.
Smaller media outlets often get it right:
