The obvious choice, if there was to be a scapegoat (which I won't prejudge the officials involved to be seeking), until now was whoever designed/build the system in question (particularly it's UI), who had pretty much already been convicted in absentia in the court of public opinion (possibly based on fabrication, as it turns out.)

Now he’s the obvious choice, but that's almost entirely a result of his own actions.
