Rape and Murder?

Wow, someone's going a little overboard. Take a step back.

This is more akin to me handing my car keys over to the shady dude standing on the corner, and asking him to park my car. Then he takes off with it.

Yeah, he's a criminal for taking off with my car, but he would have never done so if I never gave him the keys in the first place.

Same thing here.
Phishers and the like don't break into your house to steal your login information. They don't have secret ninjas that sneak into your computer room while you are sleeping to steal your epics. They use social engineering to trick you into plugging your login information into their site, so they can get your account.

So yes, it is the victim's fault for being an f'ing moron and thinking that they can get into the Cata beta by going to www.cataclysmbetaworldofwarcraft.cn
