A Czech court recently sentenced two hackers to three years in prison for accessing Vodafone customer's mobile accounts and using them to purchase 600,000 Czech Koruna worth of gambling services. Vodafone reportedly wants the hacked victim's to pay for these charges as they were using an easy password of "1234".
Vodafone says it's the customers fault for having weak passwords
Idnes.cz further reported that Vodafone is stating that it is not their responsibility for the attacker's chargers and that the hacked customers with easy passwords should have to pay the stolen money back.

The victims, on the other hand, have stated that they have no idea how their passwords were set to "1234" or that there was even an online market that could be used to buy services.

Vodafone's stance, though, is a dangerous precedent and one more reason that users should make sure they are using strong passwords at every site they visit.
