It's nothing like that. Fizz did not want these people making admin accounts on their server. That's the bottom line. They failed to prevent it (forgot to lock their door), but in no way did they actively "give their stuff away". No judge would see it that way.

A better analogy is that the bank forgot to lock their frontdoor, failed to install a security system, and failed to secure their vault.

That our laws have zero accountability for these “banks”, even for good faith tap on the shoulder, is the ongoing failure of information security and our legal system.
