They’re blaming customers for not having good cybersecurity practices instead of themselves for not having good cybersecurity practices.
From a PSA stand point, 23andMe makes a really good point here.
From a Legal / Responsible Data Custodian perspective, it’s the same collective responsibility bullshit that the oil industry likes to shit out about climate change.
23andMe can have all of the security practices they want, but they can’t stop users from reusing passwords from other sites.
Uhh yeah you can…
Mandatory 2FA with phone and password retry count. If it’s targeted using breach data of email/passwords then the 2FA should still stop the majority…
Shouldn’t service providers be hashing the plaintext passwords that show up in dark web leaks to see if matching users reused those passwords?
Wouldn’t really be of any use if they’re doing things right and salt their hashes
