I agree that's a bit of a stretch for a comparison. I think it would be closer to saying that the NSA found a key to a company's system, didn't inform the company, and then got the key stolen from them by criminals which then brought down the system.

Obviously that's extremely simplified, but all parties here are at fault. And all we're seeing is a bunch of finger pointing, with not enough defensive and preventative action being taken.
