If I try to rob a bank and succeed, it's not my fault if the bank doesn't protect it's money sufficiently well.

  That's how a lot of security researchers think...

    No it’s not. Saying it’s the responsibility for owners to protect their stuff isn’t the same as saying the attackers aren’t responsible for any wrong doing. I appreciate nuance is something the HN community often struggles with, so hopefully this analogy helps: If you had £100 on your person, you’d be expected to look after that money responsibly. For example not leaving your wallet on a park bench and walking off. However even if you did the latter, that doesn’t mean it’s ok for the person who finds your wallet to keep your money.

      In defense of simpletons, that's how the average parent edcuates their average children, not just HN.
