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.

      I can change my credit card. I can’t change my dna. This wasn’t even for any medical reasons. 23andme is just a vanity service.

        I have a relative who did it.

        But they are super into genealogy.

        At this point, to go deeper, they would need to learn a new language and travel half way across the world.

        I was not consulted before this was done. I would have cautioned against it.

      Bad analogy. The only people who had their information exposed are people who reused passwords and people who decided to make their info semi-public. It’s more like deciding to tell all your cousins and 2nd cousins your credit card info and one of them leaked it.

        And then trying to hold the card issuer liable rather than your cousin…
