In a letter to victims who filed a lawsuit against the company, 23andMe blames its breach on customers for reusing passwords.

Hope this isn’t a repeated submission. Funny how they’re trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

          Ok, who else would be able to give me your personal information. I’ll go get it from them instead.

              Oh, so you’re actually not consenting to have some personal information you’ve given to family given to me as well? Odd, you sure seemed ok when it was people having their information snagged from 23andMe.

                No, but I didn’t consent to give that info to family either. If I was worried about my data getting in the hands of strangers, I wouldn’t have shared it with strangers which is what happened here. Unless you count a 4th cousin that you’ve never met “family”, why would you give them access to your data?

            And that’s exactly how the attackers got in in the first place lol.

            The ding dongs used the same creds elsewhere which were leaked.
