> It's like a novice programmer blaming the compiler for a bug in their application.
The big difference between the two examples is this: LastPass is known to have bugs. Huge amounts of data were stolen from them and we just found out that it was a lot more than we thought.
For all we know, they were storing passwords in the clear somewhere.
Trivia note: the first compiled language I used was PL/I, and the compiler was notoriously buggy and would crash on well-formed programs. Our teacher told us to put do-nothing statements in when this happened (`PUT SKIP(0);` if I recall correctly), and with some trial and error, those would fix it.
