So I get that the vulnerability should have been patched, but to say that management and the attackers are no different is quite frankly disgusting and a very dangerous thought to have. The attackers clearly had an intent to harm, even if financially, and to lump managers in with them as if they were the ones purposefully breaking the law is unconscionable. Negligent? Yes, perhaps, we don't know the facts. But criminal? Absolutely not.

Yes, it is criminal, defined by law. It's called manslaughter.
