Your actual original point was:

> It's not all that great blaming the victim.

Which is what I was replying to.

Of course this incident was inconsequential for Newsblur's customers. That in this case the impact for the customers was approx. zero doesn't change the relationship of Mongo+Docker <> Newsblur <> customers (i.e. who has responsibility and who feels the consequences, which defines who can be a victim), just the outcome for the customers.

See my previous note:

> There can be multiple victims, multiple causes/threat actors, and overlap between two categories.

I think we've both concluded now that newsblur was largely a victim as a consumer of docker.

Cheers, glad this helped.
