Software should be secure by default. Don't blame the user.

mySQL in comparison wont even let you install without setting a root password. And it only listen on localhost/unix-socket by default. Then you need to explicitly add another user if you want to allow it to login from a non local ip. I don't think it's even possible - to both set a blank root password and allow it to login from a public IP.

So you really think the solution is to blame some low level worker, and sue him/her? The blame should always be on the people in charge, usually the CEO, who set the bar for engineering practices, proper training, etc, or the lack of.
