  Sure.  I don't think anyone is saying otherwise.

  However, there is also such a thing as "criminal negligence".  I think
that should apply to the people running the insecure servers.  Again, it's
harming the Internet, and that includes systems that belong to our
customers.  If it was just their networks being toasted, I wouldn't care --
they made their bed, they can sleep in it.  But their negligence is harming
others, and that's a problem for everyone.
