The primary responsibility to protect your data resides with you, you can't blame anyone else for handing the keys of your car to a stranger if your car then gets stolen with them...

I remember from the "I'm a Mac, I'm a PC" ads that Apple had one where they implied PCs had viruses and Macs didn't. We know this is a fallacy, but not everybody does - maybe it gave some people a false sense of security and they dropped their guard. Just saying.
