When the post is making the case for stronger legislation, and you respond by bringing up the individual responsibility of those affected, it certainly gives the impression that you are arguing against regulation and shifting the blame toward the personal failings of the victims.

Most of the people affected in this hack appear to be the elderly and disabled. Many of them do lack the ability to protect themselves, not through apathy or ignorance, but because they are some of the most vulnerable people in our society. I think it's important to approach these issues with compassion and understanding, rather than getting on your high horse and preaching to the choir.
