Negligence is actionable regardless of whether it’s criminal. And whether it’s criminal depends on the duty of care that can be reasonably expected from the negligent party.

In this case, I’ll leave the expected duty of care to your imagination, but I’ll point out that we’re talking about a publicly-traded multinational corporation with many millions of users including governments and world leaders.

Did you read the report? This hack involved spear phishing multiple employees who also had 2FA turned on. Good practices were in place. This was not some admin panel left open to the internet, that would be negligence.
