23andMe denies responsibility for the recent data breach incident, saying it's the victims' fault.
Almost 7 million users were affected by the data breach that hit 23andMe in 2023. Now, instead of addressing each concern of the victims, 23andMe blamed them for being responsible for their stolen data.
Nearly half of 23andMe's user base had information leaked in the data breach, which has given rise to a proposed class-action lawsuit filed in B.C.
