An interesting new project is Handshake which is attempting to use decentralization to remove centralized certificate authorities. Maybe it will help stop these and similar situations in the future.

Why is it better than GPG?

(“Blockchain” is not a valid answer)

The idea is to use economic incentives to keep people honest rather than trusting centralized authorities which can be more easily compromised

GPG doesn't use a centralized authority. It uses a decentralized "Web Of Trust" model.
