Yes, it is a substantial generalization, or perhaps a sentence not carefully crafted to withstand nitpicking. In my job I do the very thing you describe. That said, I'm spending a lot more of my day preparing for the more likely risks, rather than the ones I can just dream up. I doubt many people here are posting from their bomb shelters full of emergency food and water rations, antibiotics, radiation treatments, either. My point is that I could forgive the first lapse. Fool me once, and so on. But Mt. Gox had their precarious position quite expensively demonstrated to them. A competent management team would have made security and fraud management their top priority nearly 3 years ago when they were last caught with their pants down. It's hard to see them as victims in this because they were so negligent in their responsibilities to their customers.
