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.

    They weren’t breached. The data they willingly shared with the compromised accounts was available to the people that compromised them.

      Pretty sure nobody clicked a button that said “share my data with compromised accounts.”

        There was a button that said “share my data with this account”. If that person went and shared that info publicly, how is that any different? The accounts accessed with accessed with valid credentials through the normal login process. They weren’t “breached” or “hacked”.
