Yeah, it seems kind of silly to start with the fact that the something has caused "the bad thing everyone said would happen" to happen and somehow not see that thing as a blatant security hole in and of itself.
I mean sure technical solutions are available and do help, but to only look at the technical side and ignore the original issue seems like a mistake.
That means our society, our governments, our economic systems are security holes. Everyone saying the Bad Thing would happen did so by looking, not at technology, but at how our world is organized and run. The Bad Thing happened because all those actors behaved exactly as they are designed to behave.
