Where is the CIO/CTO in all of this? Would we expect a US President (or any Chief Executive of any country) to understand the importance of two-factor authentication? Or to audit his Nuclear Football? How many breaches of the VA occurred and we do not blame the President. We do criticize the response to these breeches and this CEO's response is "Thanks for all the fish," but we do tend to like it when heads roll; so I have no idea who is to actually be blamed and I think it is unreasonable to even begin assessing blame at this time.

No, but I would expect him/her to hire competent people who do.
Either you are responsible for the performance of the company or you aren't. If you are you can be richly rewarded when it performs well, but that should also include penalties when you fuck up.
