There is not a meaningful "owner" of this address, because per above, lots of people could think they're the owner. They're actually very unfortunate, unless they've managed to profit off others sending money to it.
There's some good discussion at https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/37oxow/the_securit...
Faulting blockchain for not properly handling such ridiculous OS behaviour is pointless.
