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.

      And what of the money lost? Should the credit card company say “well you’re an idiot that gave sensitive information to some company, we’re not going to help you?” It’s still victim blaming.
