It's not unprecedented either. Under HIPAA, the Department of Health and Human Services has fined organizations millions of dollars for data breaches resulting from unpatched software and inadequate security practices.

The government does a good job in this area forgiving innocuous violations, as long as all parties disclose it immediately and follow procedure.
