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.

      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.

        In reality, yes. If the data breach because users were reusing passwords, then they are partially at fault. If someone gets rear ended by a drunk driver and their injuries could have been limited by by wearing a seatbelt, then yes. They are partially at fault for it. People who don’t wear their seatbelts are the same types that reuse passwords. They don’t think it will happen to them and take their luck up to that point for granted.

      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.
