You could kind of argue that users that reuse passwords are responsible for leaking their own information. But how do they explain the remaining 7 million? Also they are suddenly able to enforce changing passwords and 2FA, so how do they want to claim they reasonably protected sensitive data before? If the 7 million users made their data public to other users that may explain a little bit, but I would assume the company would say so.
- Aachen 3y ago> how do they explain the remaining 7 million? It's not a bug, it's a feature! This person used it and shared the message they got from 23&M: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39116561 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39116561 Basically the find relatives "feature" let them expand the information base from 14k actually-compromised accounts to viewing some level of data on all their distant relatives
- cowsandmilk 3y agoThe 7 million made their data available to DNA relatives and were DNA relatives of the accounts with compromised passwords. This is similar to saying your Facebook account was hacked when one of your friends had their account compromised and the hacker had access to the information you share with friends.
