23andMe Blames Customers For Massive Data Breach
The genetic testing company 23andMe, which was subject to a data breach in December that compromised the genetic and ancestry data of 6.9 million users and now faces more than 30 lawsuits, blamed the victims of the hacking in a recent letter to users, stating that they “negligently recycled and failed to update their passwords following these past security incidents, which are unrelated to 23andMe.” What do you think?

“I added an exclamation point to my password three years ago, so this definitely isn’t on me.”
