Yes, it's a huge problem. But the author here is absolutely at fault for this attack.
If I leave my garage door wide open all night and a bunch of stuff gets stolen, I'll kick myself for stupidity and vow not to do it again. I'll also call the police and hope they find the perpetrator, because there was a theft.
It is true that we as a profession need to drastically rethink our approach to dependencies and also that this author acted unprofessionally and should be condemned for his actions.
