Just that it's the internet. So it's more like parking your ferrari with open doors in Somalia.

Sure. But if someone hacks you or robs you, the media should place blame on the person who was actually malicious, not the one who was merely negligent

Also, I love that the Internet = Somalia.

This whole thread puts the image of Somalia being like something out of Mad Max... I've never been there, but I bet it's not like that at all.

Somalia being a post-apocalyptic wasteland qualifies as a mesofact[0], I guess. Whether it actually ever was quite that bad I don't even know. I think the idea is mostly fed via movie tropes.

In my argument I used Somalia as a metaphor to transport an idea of a certain type of hostile enviroment.

I don't see how - in this context - a debate on somalias current affairs can be seen as something other than derailing.

Oh, sure. I'm with you on that! I did not want to say the media shouldn't blame the attacker..

The victim here is not the government but the people it's supposed to serve. They are providing a bad service if data (likely ours but they don't say) gets stolen away.

Bingo. The gov't/company is the victim of the hack, but the citizen/customer is the victim of the negligence that allowed the hack to happen.

This isn't like someone parking their unlocked sportscar in Somalia. This is like a valet parking someone else's unlocked sportscar in Somalia.
