You will notice that in my post I'm not defending the people behind the meow attacks. I agree, they are very much in the wrong. But being careless with other people's data is also wrong and we should not feel bad for companies whose negligent practices backfire on them. That is what I was trying to highlight with my analogy. Like bacteria, there will always be bad actors trying to exploit poor security. If not these attackers, then someone else. That is why we have security measures. The people we should feel bad for are the individual customers affected. Ps also, there is a big difference between being careless with your own property (your analogy) and someone else's property/data/wellbeing (my analogy and the case at hand).
