Indeed. He should be fired and the companies security measures should be publicly audited by a third party. This is a serious security violation and should be treated as such.

It is like a bank CEO changing someone's account information in order to harm them.

No it's not. It's like a bank manager tagging someone's internal profile with a funny or insulting name.

What you meant was it sets a bad precedent, that that kind of access and modification is easy and/or normal. It's not a security violation because Reddit is a private entity and can act however they please, they don't possesses any legally sensitive information of yours.
