Does anyone have a logical reason why this company should not be sued into oblivion?

  Yes, because in point of fact this company is the best at what it does — preventing security breaches. The outage — disruptive as it was — was not a breach. This elemental fact is lost amidst all the knee jerk HN hate, but goes a long way toward explaining why the stock only took a modest hit.

    That's a somewhat narrow definition of "security." The 3rd component of the CIA triad is often overlooked, yet the availability is what makes the protected asset—and, transitively, the protection itself—useful at the first place. The disruption is effectively a Denial of Service.
