These are two independent, but related, things. The bank indeed was guilty of not properly securing customer data. The breach exposes this, and the bank was fined and sued accordingly. Thompson is also guilty of wire fraud for the breach. You can't steal stuff just because it's easy. It doesn't have to be one or the other. The bank was negligent, and Thompson is a fraudster. > The bank claims that it is hacker's fault. I don't see that claim in the article.
