The bear is being a bear - s/he's doing what they were made to do - get food.
If humans are providing the food, then shame on the humans for doing it.
Bears have a GREAT memory - they will return to a place where they found food in the past, hoping to score on it again. When it's not there because the humans have moved, then they will go to the next closest site.
It wouldn't surprise me one bit to learn that the lady who was attacked had fed bears in the past. Maybe she just left some cat food out for her cat, or some suet for the birds, but I doubt that attack just "happened"...
