Hope this isn't a repeated submission. Funny how they're trying to deflect blame after they tried to change the EULA post breach.

OP spreading disinformation.

Users used bad passwords. Their accounts where accessed using their legitimate, bad, passwords.

Users cry about the consequences of their bad passwords.

Yeah, 23AndMe has some culpability here, but the lions share is still in the users themselves

The lions share IMHO is at 23&me. Offering such a poorly secured service is negligence, in the face of the data's high sensitivity nature.
