      No, they opted to share varying degrees of information with authorized users and close genetic matches, and 23andMe failed to protect them from a large scale takeover of accounts that made public the kind of information the company had promised to keep private to semi-private.

      14,000 accounts compromise by the same entity. That’s absolutely the fault of the platform, not the users.

      It’s not the responsibility of your grandma who’s researching family history to be aware of potential data security threats. It’s the responsibility of the multimillion dollar online company with massive, valuable data troves to not offer a feature that was just a data breach waiting to happen.

        I remember when the housing market crashed and hearing all these rich folks talk about how it is poor people who are responsible for not knowing they couldnt afford their homes.

        Yeah so why exactly do we have a credit rating system if it isn’t rating credit?

        You are completely correct. It is not on regular people to be experts on cyber security and somehow know that the company is doing their job and will do their job forever.
