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 think most internet users are straight up smooth brained, i have to pull my wife’s hair to get her to not use my first name twice and the year we were married as a password and even then I only succeed 30% of the time, and she had the nerve to bitch and moan when her Walmart account got hacked, she’s just lucky she didn’t have the cc attached to it.

    And she makes 3 times as much as I do, there is no helping people.

      These people remind me of my old roommate who “just wanted to live in a neighborhood where you don’t have to lock your doors.”

      We lived kind of in the fucking woods outside of town, and some of our nearest neighbors had a fucking meth lab on their property.

      I literally told him you can’t fucking will that want into reality, man.

      You can’t just choose to leave your doors unlocked hoping that this will turn out to be that neighborhood.

      I eventually moved the fuck out because I can’t deal with that kind of hippie dippie bullshit. Life isn’t fucking The Secret.

        I have friends that occasionally bitch about the way things are but refuse to engage with whatever systems are set up to help solve whatever given problem they have. “it shouldn’t be like that! It should work like X”

        Well, it doesn’t. We can try to change things for the better but refusal to engage with the current system isn’t an excuse for why your life is shit.
