Not really. Nobody's blaming AT&T's CUSTOMERS for doing anything wrong. They are the victims. They are the ones who had their personal information made available to people outside of AT&T.
This might better be called perpetrator blaming. The perpetrator is the person who commits a crime. AT&T had an obligation to keep customer data safe regarding the privacy policy that they tell customers that they will uphold. They failed to uphold it in any kind of meaningful way, by failing to provide any kind of access control to said personal information.
Calling it victim blaming is to fail to apply any kind of critical thinking to the situation.
