You don't need to break security to spray the side of a store. You do need to break security to deface a website.

Analogies are analogies, they're unnecessary in this case (nowadays). Because we got law to punish people who deface a website, and the law stands on its own.

Its akin to people who call 'copyright infringement' 'theft'. Its not the same, its a different mechanic, damages are different, and... different laws apply. That doesn't mean one's right or wrong or anything like it; like I said: the laws stand on their own, respectively.

The store owner should have hired security staff to prevent their store from getting graffitied.

I can construct any sort of scenario such that victim blaming is always possible, when the reality is they shouldn't have to worry about their property being messed with.
