    Successful credential theft can really never be blamed on a single individual unless it can be proved to be malice. It’s always a systemic failure, even in cases where the user didn’t follow a process because of X. The issue was the X in the process and another user would have done the same thing eventually.

    And in this case we’re talking about technologically savvy person, an engineer (systems or software idk)

      Well… we can’t always assume the engineers are technologically savvy, I’ve met some pretty bad ones.
