While you're technically right - we are responsible for our security, and we should lock down our networks just like we lock our front doors - this is basically blaming the victim.

In a nice neighbourhood one could probably leave the door unlocked, but unfortunately internet is more like Gangland than Wonderland.

This said, I'm not blaming home users, but IT folks who failed to secure corporate data and should have known better.
