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.

    Yes, because you have to choose to share that data with other people. 23andMe isn’t responsible if grandma uses the same password for every site.

      23andMe is responsible for sandboxing that data, however. Which they obviously didn’t do.

        Did you not read my comment? Users opt in to sharing data with other accounts, which means if one account is compromised, then every account that allowed them access would have their data compromised too. That’s not on the company, because they feature can’t work without allowing access.
