23andMe tells victims it’s their fault that their data was breached “Users negligently recycled and failed to update their passwords following these past security incidents, which are unrelated to 23andMe. Therefore, the incident was not a result of 23andMe’s alleged failure to maintain reasonable security measures” By hacking into only 14,000 customers’ accounts, the hackers subsequently scraped personal data of another 6.9 million customers whose accounts were not directly hacked #23andMe #CrisisManagement #Crisis #management #business #security #cybersecurity #infosec #hackers #hacking #hacked

Blame the Customer! Here's an interesting take on security breaches. While they aren't wrong per se regarding password generation, use, and re-use ... it just seems that blaming the customer isn't a best practice. What do you think?

The old "ease-of-use" vs. "security" issue surfaces again in the lawsuits arising from the #23andMe incident that resulted in the exfiltration of genetic and ancestry information of 6.9 million people. Should two factor authentication be optional or mandatory? Must the application vendor implement controls to safeguard against credential stuffing? Should 23andMe be held responsible for this incident? Will the #SEC weigh in? #cybersecurity #infosec #informationsecurity https://lnkd.in/dJJkN2ai
