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.

    Blaming your customers is definitely a strategy. It’s not a good one, but it is a strategy.

          They’re an American company, and I’m not yet aware of any lawsuits setting the precedent of the GDPR applying to server infrastructure in the USA, which is outside the jurisdiction of the GDPR.

          So if they’ve copied your data to their American servers already (you can bet they have), it’s there for good.
