Everyone gets phished. Fraud happens. Secret Questions are especially susceptible to phishing attacks. This has been known for about a decade. Apple had not updated the security protocols for iTunes, and in turn App Store and iCloud, for that time. The hack was definitely Apple's fault.

'"In total, the [500] unique iCloud accounts were accessed 3,263 times," the document states.' - http://www.businessinsider.com/fbi-investigation-into-the-fa...

This was a massive failure in Apple's part.

Yes, how can one trust a company's claims about privacy when the seemingly lose no trust over even such a high-profile incident? Celebrities phones has been targeted since at least the T-Mobile Sidekick.
