It's more like someone goes to an ATM and takes out cash, puts it in their back pocket and it's dangling out. Yes of course it's wrong to take it but you have to wonder why they would let it be so easy to take, be more proactive in life. Don't wave cash around and don't take nude pictures of yourself and store them online if you're famous because it's been proven time and time again they are easy to hack into.

The analogy you presented is like a women wears provocative clothing and gets abused and gets blamed which would be silly. The correct analogy is a women wears provocative clothing and gets stared at. Even if the staring is inappropriate you'd have to except the high likelihood of it happening. Don't park an expensive car in the ghetto, don't dangle cash out your back pocket and don't put nude photos online.
Notwithstanding my comment above, using a private, albeit online, storage service is not remotely close to flashing money around. Your analogy is completely invalid. A more accurate analogy would be to compare using a cloud service to keeping a large stack of cash out of sight in your home. In both cases, someone has to break in to (a) confirm it exists and (b) steal it.

In short, your attempt at rationalizing your argument is most certainly victim blaming.
