In what way is this any different than someone picking the lock to the front door of your house, smashing things up with a baseball bat, carrying your valuables out to the street and then leaving you a note saying "you should have bought a better lock"?
I'd far rather live in a world where we didn't need the lock in the first place.
the issue (for me) is how valuable the valuables are and how much security is protecting the valuables. There's a good reason why there's a major difference between the security protecting the mona lisa and the security protecting my car, even though both are secured and both are valuable.
when people under-secure assests that they claim to be securing, especially when those assets aren't theirs, I think they're partially to blame when the assets are eventually stolen. I'm blaming stratfor because i think they did a shitty job securing their customers' info, especially since the info belonged to paying customers.
