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.
