Enough with blaming the victims of the theft. Your statement is true, but what you neglect to mention is that a third party program can collect other PC IDs just as easily. Especially with how FFXIV is structured. If anyone is to blame, the last are the players who had their gil stolen this way. Both the people behind the exploit and, well, let's call them, "thee all mighty Esse!" are to blame. The all mighty Esse being at fault due to this being completely avoidable. Remember when players were temp banned on non legacy servers a month back and no explanation, or a sufficient one anyway, was given? This situation kinda relates back to that.

They know what kind of situation they are dealing with and they know how it was able to happen and they absolutely know they are to blame, but don't think for a second you'll hear that from them. Also, unless they restructure how the client reacts in certain situations in relation to the servers you're going to see new situations like this pop back up. Don't say I didn't warn ya!
