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 admit, I’ve not used the site so I don’t know the answers to the questions I would need, in order to properly respond:

    • Were these opt-in or opt-out?
    • Were the risks made clear?
    • Were the options fine tuned enough that you could share some info, but not all?

    From the sounds of it, I doubt enough was done by the company to ensure people were aware of the risks. Because so many people were shocked by what was able to be skimmed.
